Just got an email from Ebay [View all]

It appears that the 1099-K reporting threshold has went back up to $20,000 and 200 transactions again for places like Ebay. It had been tightened to $2500 and then $600, but that is now all out the window.

Now we don't have to be concerned about selling a stash of few Farrah Fawcett posters and GI Joes from when I was 10 years old.

I guess that's one good thing that has happened out of all of this.
