As long as you're offering to cover fees I can't think of a single legitimate reason to insist on you using friends and family. Sketchy as hell.novascotiapower wrote:Hey there!

I thought so. I was actually lucky enough to have a nice seller explain the friends and family vs goods and services to me during my first purchase. It just struck me as strange that a seller would get so pissed off about it... unless they are trying to rip people off... which is the logical conclusion.iwokeinrelief wrote:As long as you're offering to cover fees I can't think of a single legitimate reason to insist on you using friends and family.

Bought a set of Taylor Bounty Hunter prints from a guy who used that as an excuse. He did agree to ship half the set to me before I had to pay though.novascotiapower wrote:Well, good luck to anyone that rolls the dice on that excuse.TKuczynski wrote:Taxes

At least you're both taking a risk on that one though, that's respectable.Kramerica wrote:Bought a set of Taylor Bounty Hunter prints from a guy who used that as an excuse.

Yea I didn't say it's by any means an acceptable excuse, but it's the go-to I've heard many times

Word! I wasn't trying to sound snarky or sarcastic or anything. And you were right, that is the excuse this person tried to use.TKuczynski wrote:Yea I didn't say it's by any means an acceptable excuse, but it's the go-to I've heard many times

Cousin works for the IRS as an auditor. If anyone thinks your responsibility to pay taxes disappears if you don't get that form from PayPal, you're drymounting stupid.novascotiapower wrote:Well, good luck to anyone that rolls the dice on that excuse.TKuczynski wrote:Taxes

Can't take a loss every year or it's not a hobby. Gift payments count as income when it comes to an audit. Everything is electronically documented and it only takes an algorithm to set your audit appointment, not a human.mattkardish wrote:deduct hobby losses against hobby gains...IRS auditors are just protecting their pensions...

i am aware --- hence the losses only to the extent of gains, not to go below zero. if you're trying to take a loss on selling posters then that is quite an aggressive strategynomdeguerre wrote:Can't take a loss every year or it's not a hobby.
