Ok, I don't have a business and I don't obviously collect taxes because of that. I sold a lot of personal items for family members and myself for various goods like video games, old stamps, silver coins/bullion, ect. in 2016. Most were on eBay and some were "Invoices" I sent over PayPal. Apparently that comes to 235 transactions and over $20,000. But what I don't get is I'm supposed to report this to the government as income because I got a 1099-K form from PayPal? I didn't profit that, these items cost money at some point in my life or family member's lifetime. Why do I have to report this as income? This is going to be a HUGE hit to my taxes and I'm paying on them because of that? I think something is wrong but I'm not really sure where I should start or who I should ask. It's not like this was actually income for myself. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions as to where I should start? Thank you, John
