It's the American way!
Yes, and corporations have whole divisions dedicated to screwing the US out of taxes and are quite good at it....

but SOME really nasty , petty, ignorant, cruel, vindictive, jealous psychos want to go after their neighbor to

"Save The US From Financial Collapse "

over what amounts to monetarily nothing.

I know many people that aren't in that good of shape and I hate to see them lose their benefits because there are so many people abusing the system.

It appears as if there are many people that believe that if you're smart enough to get one over on Uncle Sam then more power to you. My concern is for those that aren't smart enough or just believe it is wrong to do that. What happens to them when the system collapses.

DUH! SELLING on Ebay IS A BLOODY JOB!


It is PERFECT for anyone with varying degrees of disability because they have a choice of how much they sell, how much work they do.

They could sell 1,000 items a week or 10.

So you think finding inventory, cleaning it, researching it, photographing it, creating auctions, learning shipping forms and regulations, packing it and shipping it isn't hard enough work ???



NOW, WHAT system is going to "collapse" ????

If he's making any reasonable income, PayPal will report him to the IRS. 200 transactions + $20,000 is the requirement to be reported.

There is also a chance his doctor has this written up as therapeutic.

It could be his PT and his socialization.

Yea, but atleast he'll have to document it and submit it to the IRS. I don't know how that will tie into disability.

Well, if he's cheating the way that the OP is saying, then he's not submitting factual information.

The OP doesn't know jack about what her neighbor is doing or not doing except for guesswork on her part.

Now, I think this is great, but he does NOT report this income to the SS department, nor does he pay any taxes on any of this. I am wondering how I can find out his username he uses on eBay so he can be turned in for tax cheating? He won't let me know his username. He keeps all of it very private. I know about the silver and gold and such because, this person who supposedly can't work, goes to estate auctions in the area and buys stuff and then sells it on eBay. I have seen him at said sales. So, how do I go about getting his username so he can be turned in for tax cheating?
So you think this guy may be cheating on taxes (of all things) and you want to turn him? Not much of a rebel are you?
