new ebay feedback

If many is less than one percent* in your book, then OK, that is true. But... "Many" professional ebay sellers will have two accounts for tax reasons. For example, lets say that Bob is an antiques dealer, a one man show, like most are. He sells on Ebay, and follows all the rules for taxation (he would be a fool not to). His father dies, and he inherits the estate, so all his father's stuff is now his. He wants to sell off some of this stuff. If he uses his regular Ebay account to sell, he will have a lot of work figuring out what is taxable, both as income and sales tax. The stuff he inherits from his father, for the most part, would (mostly) not be subject to sales or income tax, unlike the goods he sells on Ebay for his business. The easy solution? Create another account for the sale of personal property. If Bob were to go thru an audit, the IRS would have a much easier time getting everything straight, and let Bob go. *There is a survey floating around concerning this. No, I am not going to look for it - I have better things to do. Please use care with that "many" word. -- Will
