I just got a notification from eBay that said they won't release my money from selling until I provide them with my SSN or tax ID because I've sold over $600 this year. It was probably like a total of $602 because I rarely ever sell anything on there except old tech stuff when I really need money.

Sorry to be that person but this doesn't make sense for a couple legitimate reasons.

For sure BS the DoD isn't really improving. Yet this is an apples to oranges comparison.

On the other side of the meme, why shouldn't money obtained via a 3rd party platform need to be reported to the IRS? I don't understand the complaint.

Is your business suddenly special and tax-exempt just because you sell your custom knick-knacks on Craigslist on or accept venmo for your at-home dog grooming service or whatever?
