I still buy stuff on Ebay, but I refuse to sell on it. I have been screwed by lying *** people a few times complaining that my item was not as described, and I go WAY overboard on excruciatingly accurate descriptions. Plus, anything over $600 in sales will get you a 1099 from them. Let's say you buy a car part for $600 and wind up not using it. Then you sell it for $700 on Ebay. You made $100, but Ebay will send a 1099 for $700. Since that $700 was reported to the government, they consider it as $700 income, when it was only $100. Yes, there are ways to properly report it as only $100 income, but if you are not running a business, and you are not itemizing, it is difficult to do that.
