Hello, I'm kinda new to using PayPal. Back in August, I bought $100 worth of eBay gift cards at my local grocery store. I opened up an eBay account and a Paypal account specifically to use those gift cards. I was able to purchase some items using my gift cards even though I didn't have to link a Bank/Credit Card, and I cancelled a couple of purchases and got refunds shortly after I ordered them. The refunds went back to the gift card balance and I was able to spend the rest of the gift card money. So here's my question. Will I have to report any of that to the IRS? Because I closed that old Paypal account shortly after I spent the rest of the gift card money and received my items and and I'm unsure whether or not I made a mistake closing it since I no longer have those statements. Just to clarify, I have never sold anything or made any profits using that account, just strictly for using those gift cards to buy stuff on eBay. I didn't mess up or anything, did I? Please respond as soon as you can.
