On the buyer's end, they are protected by PayPal (and their credit card company) if the package does not arrive, for whatever reason.

Ah yes good ole taxes. I do claim my sales but do like to make my own decision to do so versus being sent a schedule K/1099-K or whatever it’s called. Good reminder. Thank you for the quick response.
