I'm okay with getting rid of federal employee bloat. The IRS has so many employees they're beating the bushes looking for fresh sources of taxes (ebay virtual yard sales). Sure, it's justifying their $100,000+ jobs to pat themselves on the back. Go after the large sellers on Ebay, or the Air B-N-B businesses, but don't create a huge hassle for traditional virtual yard sellers. Again, I'm not sorry those dingdongs are losing their jobs.

The stupidity is so frustrating.

Let’s repeat for you: career employees do not set policy, they implement it. Political officials make those decisions, not rank and file employees who do audits

Your last statement is provably false. Career employees decide how to interpret the vague policies which is essentially rulemaking.

So you got nailed for doing something stupid & according to your interpretation of rules? Got it. Obviously you don't know how government rulemaking works. It's decided at the political level.

Always has been. Just many people have been using FB lately and forgot about it.

I had a car for sale on Craigslist for two weeks. Every nutcase has called but never showed up. During the two weeks the car was parked in the front yard. At least 20 people stopped and looked at it and one of them bought it. Craigslist was a waste of time.

You only have to pay taxes if you make a profit. eBay sending 1099s to everyone just makes them have to show, item by item, that they didn’t make a profit.

I don’t think anyone is selling things for a profit on craigslist

Wired for Covid times and will work for high tariff times!

Anyone need a $500 used kid bike from China that now costs $1000?!

There is no way to do this though. It's a catch 22.

Ebay and craigslist will be great places to shop right now to avoid the high tariffs on things.

I sold a picture last weekend! First sale on there in a long time though.

Who are the bored crazy people who police categories by reprimanding people when they disagree with which category they listed something in. LOL Insane.

Craigslist was great during the pandemic but it’s been slow lately.

The 1099 is no big deal if you are selling shit you bought years ago. You aren’t going to owe taxes on that shit.

Now, if you are some sort of business engaging in deliberate tax avoidance on your profits, go sit on a hot poker and call it joy.

Is Craigslist illegal?

I paid $120,000 in taxes this year and Trump is just going to put it in his own pocket. WTF is the point of paying more?

It sounds like Craigslist is noncompliant with the law. So, yeah, illegal.
