Sell a gun thru PayPal?

[BluesBrother]

For folks doing business I can see where the government wants to cash in, but for the common guy who bought 2k worth of wheels and tires.......found a new set and pedals the originals on eBay for 1k, he now owes the government another 150 dollars in taxes that were already paid when the wheels were originally purchased.
It's crazy.

This is exactly why my eBay use has gone to almost nil. I figure if I'm going to be charged taxes anyway, might as well be on new item instead of used item someone is trying to get out from under.

They also don't accept American Express any longer. As much as I buy for personal and through work, I have moved to Amazon to keep my points. This last year I've had over a thousand dollars in gift cards alone from points.

10-99 for points? I'm sure they are busy working on it. It makes me mad about all the taxes. How many times can they tax the same dollar??

I'll take a personal check over Paypal, buyer will have to wait for it to clear before shippment.
I've done this as a seller and a buyer, just have to have some faith in who your dealing with.

As many times as the government or we let them get away with. Taxes are in a sad state of affairs. I cringe when ever the topic comes up. Because it's been my experience I will end up with less.
