Im just amazed at just how many are throwing offers out then. Is ebay bombarding sellers with some kind of deal or something to do the offers? After so many years of seeing sellers just leave stuff up and never budge on price it throws me off how much that seems to have changed

There is no special deal for sellers to submit special offers to buyers. Ebay has actually made it to where sellers could sell more if you have an Ebay store. Use to be 250 listings for this one type store to sell games. Now you are allowed 10,000 listings. Ebay wants to operate the stores as a business. They don't want stuff just sitting in inventory for years. They want movement so they are giving this option to maybe help push stock or items out. Example I just had someone watch a vinyl record a few days ago. Had it up for sale for 2 years. Nobody wanted it. Someone watched it and I submitted a $13.50 offer on a $14.99 vinyl and they accepted it. 

The problem though is a lot of seller are overpricing items such as games and submitting special offers that nobody in there right mind would buy. People wait until they go down in price.

I find it odd that when I get an offer on a watched item, sometimes, I have the option to send a counter and sometimes I don't.  I've also noticed that the discount ranges sometimes from 5% to as high as 25%.  If eBay is generating this on their own, I have to believe that the sellers are at least somewhat involved because of the number of variables.  

It's the seller who has the option to send you an offer if you are watching an item and can either click allow a counter offer or not. It's a special offer to you. Some sellers are willing to negotiate prices on certain items and other aren't they just want to give you a one time offer.

Does anyone know if ebay automatically gives you offers on things you watch? With a lot  of things Ive watched in the past year, i’ll get a better offer from the seller, on BIN items. It seems like it happens with almost every one of them.I’m curious if the sellers are actually doing it or if ebay is doing it on their own. 
 

By that I mean ebay generates the offer on “behalf” of the seller and ebay itself covers the discount (I know its nuts to think they would take the hit) so the seller just see’s they sold the item and got what they listed it for meanwhile ebay actually sold it to me for %10 or %15 off or whatever. Hopefully I made sense enough with that

It just seems weird that all these sellers are voluntarily sending me better prices on stuff I happened to watch

 

There is a section where a seller can submit best offers to buyers who are watching. The seller is the one who gives the special discount. Either an amount or a percentage off. The sellers are sending you offers cause they want to sell the item that your watching. Which is kind of the purpose, lol. Yes a seller can click automatically send offer to other watchers as well. So if you click watch there is a small chance an offer can be sent to you automatically by the buyer. Ebay wants buyers who are watching the items to actually purchase the item so they can make money. I understand the reasons why buyers want to watch items but when you get several people watching an item but no one is buying honestly it defeats the purpose of watching an item.

I am not an expert on this, but for sure that's not right.

I'd assume the basis is what you spent on it, if you split the basis among cards, you are decreasing your basis per card which would increase your taxable income.

If there is no adequate deduction then the cost of goods is zero.

Say I sold a graded card. Cost of grading is easy, costs taken from eBay and or Paypal fine, but the card itself was cracked from a box. How to you declare that, the cost of the box, the cost of the box divided by cards? The average raw price online? 

The cost of the card would be zero cause you haven't sold the whole box yet.

There’s only so many of them, so they’ll be focusing  their audits on big money. If you are only selling a couple thousand bucks of old games on eBay nobody is gonna waste any time on you.

With that being said, you should have always been paying taxes on ALL income. If you haven’t been doing so, consider yourself lucky that you’ve been getting away with it all these years

The IRS can and has audit people with $2000 worth of total transactions. It doesn't matter if its $200 or $200 million they will still audit if you don't explain or unclear where the money is coming from.

It seems even if you sell here it will be reported by PayPal unless you do friends and family.

I hear that the Government wanting to track Crypto transactions is driving a lot of this.

Yes if you sell items here you will still need to report it cause yes Paypal does report the income. Yes Paypal will still report friends & family payments as well but you are responsible to explain to the IRS who the family members are and still some book work involved. All your doing would be not paying fees. Friends & Family payments are still considered income in the eyes of the IRS.

I believe that you are “supposed to be” paying tax on ALL income regardless of whether is reported by the various platforms. So if you have been paying your taxes all along, then no change.

Agree

1 hour ago, phart010 said:

This new law just makes it so that the platforms have to report your earnings to the IRS if you have more than $600 in earnings.

So eBay and others will send you and the IRS both a little slip that sums up your activity if it exceeds $600. So what? It’s not a huge burden, you don’t have to do the record keeping, eBay does that for you. You just have to make sure that you are withholding some of your earnings to pay the taxes due on them.

Yes you do have to keep records. Your tax accountant will want to know the cost of goods sold, shipping cost, Ebay or Paypal fees. There is book work involved. Ebay just takes state sales tax and does that work.

1 hour ago, phart010 said:

Actually, if you have been paying your taxes on all of your income all along, then this should actually make things easier for you. Because now instead of you having to keep records of all your eBay activity, eBay will do all of that for you and summarize onto a neat little slip of paper.

Not true. Ebay is just going to report to the IRS earnings of $600 or more. You are responsible to tell the IRS how that money was earned.

I think the people who want avoid paying taxes on flips will probably just use Facebook cash only/pick up only. A bunch of people will continue to sell on Ebay though cause there is more money in it and things sell faster.

We are definitely not in the last years of the nes, Pre-Nes maybe.

What Nes has going for it, Nintendo is still a successful gaming company putting out related IP. There will be young people that are playing Breath of the Wild or 2 when it comes out as their first Zelda game and will end up exploring the back catalog. Not all, but definitely some. This can be similar to finding a cool song, movie, book, etc and wanting to explore more. Even games like Smash has little kids knowing who the Ice Climbers are. Castlevania got a freaking animated series on Netflix.

 

 

 

 

Even though I do agree with you about Nintendo being a successful gaming company from the people I have talked to locally about this young kids and teenagers are looking for the latest games. They have zero interest in the classics. I have had multiple people wanting to return NES systems package just because there kids don't want it. The exploring for young people wanting to know what retro stuff has to offer is far less as far as buying and playing. People just you tube the classics.

So it sold.. but I'm confused how 9***y (118) won with a 3.5 day old bid when thats the only bid shown placed by them?

They can bid as much as they want on day 1 if nobody exceeds the bid they made they will the item. On a side note though I wouldn't be surprised if either they cancel the transaction or the bid was fake to increase the value on purpose.

This has happened to me several times where a seller sent me items that weren't intended for me. I just got the shipping cost and ship the games to the buyer it was intended for. It was a nice thing you did by sending the games back to the seller without shipping cost in advance but as you experienced there is a risk which was you would get screwed out of money. There are a lot of honest people in this world and there are a lot of dishonest people in this world.

Did you have an alternate means to reach him other than forums or his eBay contact?

No. Just on 2 video game sites along with Ebay were the only means but he hasn't logged on in like 4 years. I just remember him selling off a lot of complete video games. Maybe somebody here knows him personally or knows more about what happened to him.

Yes I remember him and have done many deal with him in the past.
