To those that don't want a 1099 and sell on this forum instead, BAD NEWS! If you get paid through PayPal for a sale here, and the gross proceeds are $600 or higher (includes shipping), you will get a 1099 from PayPal. Its not eBay, its the new tax law that requires any payment processor to issue a 1099.
Also, even if you sell a bike here (with shipping) well under $600, but you sell other items over the calendar year, if the total is $600 or higher, you will get a 1099. Its pretty easy to hit that level.
