I mainly wonder what the unlicensed non tax paying "Dealers" are going to do. One I know of still has a ton of stuff listed on eBay.

A lot of private IP cash sales, less ebay and auction house sales.

Oh boy - and a lot more fraud is on the way... not that fleabay provided a lot of protection from fraud (at either end - buying or selling), but there was something there.

I sell about 30-40K per year on ebay (basically a part-time job) and have always reported them on my taxes so it's really no big deal to me.

I sold over $20.k on ebay, 2021. I go to the ebay Account area, see the "tax" section, and see where the 1099-k should be. Just checked today Jan. 26th, still nothing, no 1099-k document showing. I also have not received any ebay tax document in the mail. Have you all yet received or can print the 1099-k from ebay site?

Did you also have 200 or more sales transactions? That was the second threshold to be met in 2021 for a 1099-K to be required.

And technically the 1099s aren't due till 1/31, so they still have a few days.

If we now have to pay taxes on gains, can I offset the gains against my losses from collecting in the '80s & '90s? I'm still smarting from my investment in Score and Donruss collector's sets.
