The new service/skimming will ultimately not work and just shoo more sellers (and buyers) away from these platforms. It is fair to say that this new 1099 requirement makes unscrupulous sellers who under-report sales pay what they owe; on the other hand, many sellers (myself included) who report their card income to the IRS simply don't want the hassle of receiving a 1099 and will no longer deal with these platforms.

If you are already reporting card income, why is receiving a 1099 a hassle? Is it because all that is reported is the total amount sold with no indication of costs (and therefore profit)?
