Screw eBay, PayPal and the IRS. there are other ways to complete a transaction. Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, crypto and old school USPS money orders. No way am I paying tax on a item I already paid tax on when I initially purchased it.
New ebay payments require SS#?
I received an email from ebay and they now will deposit your amount from a sale directly into your bank account. So, they require your routing and account numbers. But they also required my SS number, which I'm not sure I like. They say the purpose is to comply with government regulations. Is there any reason to think they would transmit the amount of your sales to the irs and issue you a 1099? I only occasionally sell used items on ebay and don't consider any amount I receive to be taxable income. Thoughts?
