Seems like it would be a headache without much success. And people troll on there so much, they would be saying that our pricing is way too high and we are ripping people off, when they know nothing about the hobby. FB groups are an option, but it would be hard to sell figures locally, likely. If I find another means of selling, I will let you know. The girl was very trusting and it went very smoothly. I did sell one figure off the app through a private transaction between friends.

I don’t know how they pick up on certain words. And if they say anything in chat that remotely indicates that the sale/communication is going off the app, they will slam you for that. I tried pulling people off Mercari, but even trying to use code words and telling people to read my photos, some people are so dense. There is an accountant who is a personal friend of my family. But I am going to have to figure out how much I will owe in taxes. I honestly just caved and started selling on Mercari again. But, this last realization is making me throw in the towel. And I’ll make sure it’s not done in a way that I can be taxed. So, looks like I’ll be going elsewhere to sell. But, now, not only do I have to pay taxes for such a ridiculous drop in threshold ($20,000 to $600), the money that Mercari takes from me gets factored into that. So, Mercari takes about $80 from me for a lot of those in selling and processing fees. They are probably using the amount I SOLD it for as the value, and not what I MADE.” I sell high dollar anime figures. When I add up what I have made (including that sale) it’s $560. It says I can’t sell it because I need to fill out a W-9 because I will be “over $600”. But wanted to reply to yours again.Īside from this being total bullshit already, I just tried to accept an offer. They oughta just let people freely trade and purchase products with already taxed income, because either way when you shop with that money it's going to be taxed again one way or another so it makes no sense to tax People based off a certain amount of money they made or spent. Like they're practically saying "Hey we're pretty crappy with our money and spending habits so we'll take more form you because yea we oughta be the ones managing YOUR spending habits AND transactions!". It's why the IRS sending everyone notices who owe debts that they're already paying on. It's probably from the executive branches new push to tax purchases and sold items over $600 just because our government in general is making poor financial decisions so they wanna breathe down our necks for every transactions like we're the issue here. But yeah this aspect of taxation should be considered theft.

Taxation isn't theft when it comes to contributing to our infrastructure and social safety nets, on a small percentile.
