But it is authenticating cards that have already been graded, which is very close to the same thing.  <br />\n<br />\nSorry, but an experienced collector cannot tell this from the scans before they buy? If the scans are of such poor quality that I cannot tell on eBay, I\'m not pulling the trigger. A card that has been tampered with or a slab that gets damaged in the mail was already covered by the eBay guarantee - which is actually quite good. <br />\n<br />\nI\'d rather the card get to me quicker and take the risk (that pays off 95% of the time or more) that everything is just fine than have to send an SGC slab to PSA so that PSA can say the slab is not compromised on every single card over a certain amount. Sorry, that\'s just silly. I\'ve had slabs arrive that are cracked in a way I didn\'t notice before I bought them. I\'ve either sent them back in working with the seller, or had eBay step in on the rare occasion where the seller didn\'t want to play ball. It always works out. I\'d rather do that only when I have to and trust the process that works the rest of the time. I guess I get what eBay is trying to do, I just think it should be optional.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				Postwar stars &amp; HOF\'ers.

Looks like my timing was pretty good...</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>I don\'t think Ebay has anyone grading cards that are already graded.  My understanding is Ebay is having PSA review the holders of graded cards to make sure they are legit and haven\'t been tampered with.  Not sure if they\'re also supposed to review the flips to make sure they\'re legit and accurate a well.  That, to me, is way different that re-grading cards that have already been graded.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nIt is also a bit concerning because how and when did PSA suddenly become an expert in reviewing slabs, especially any other TPGs slabs?  The TPGs most likely all contract with outside companies to design and manufacture the slabs they put cards in, and have people in their employ just learn what they need to seal them.  Not sure how that specifically qualifies any TPG as an expert to review and determine that slabs may have been tampered with, or that they are legitimate to the TPG that supposedly issued them. I would think someone with the slab manufacturers and/or their designers, and a background in plastics, would actually be a much better choice.  And if they are also concerned with the flips, and possible counterfeiting of them, PSA will certainly have full access to all their own graded cards records to be able to check cert #s and such, but how are they going to have such access to other TPG\'s records?  And on the surface, this also can easily appear to be an inherent conflict of interest in that PSA is now looking at other TPG\'s slabs and can raise concerns and issues about them, while possibly passing on concerns and issues that may exist with their own slabs.  I\'m in no way saying they\'re doing that, but it is usually best to be independent in fact, AND APPEARANCE, when doing something like this.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nI\'m guessing that the actual card graders at PSA have little, if anything at all, to do with this graded card slab authentication program they\'re now involved in with Ebay.  Many people have voiced concerns about how PSA has a huge grading backlog they are still dealing with, so they question how can they take on additional work like this for Ebay?  I\'m guessing the slab authentication is handled by none of the actual card graders at PSA, and is really having no impact on their grading backlog and getting caught up on it.

My understanding is Ebay is having PSA review the holders of graded cards to make sure they are legit and haven\'t been tampered with.  Not sure if they\'re also supposed to review the flips to make sure they\'re legit and accurate a well.  That, to me, is way different that re-grading cards that have already been graded.  <br />\n<br />\nIt is also a bit concerning because how and when did PSA suddenly become an expert in reviewing slabs, especially any other TPGs slabs?  The TPGs most likely all contract with outside companies to design and manufacture the slabs they put cards in, and have people in their employ just learn what they need to seal them.  Not sure how that specifically qualifies any TPG as an expert to review and determine that slabs may have been tampered with, or that they are legitimate to the TPG that supposedly issued them. I would think someone with the slab manufacturers and/or their designers, and a background in plastics, would actually be a much better choice.  And if they are also concerned with the flips, and possible counterfeiting of them, PSA will certainly have full access to all their own graded cards records to be able to check cert #s and such, but how are they going to have such access to other TPG\'s records?  And on the surface, this also can easily appear to be an inherent conflict of interest in that PSA is now looking at other TPG\'s slabs and can raise concerns and issues about them, while possibly passing on concerns and issues that may exist with their own slabs.  I\'m in no way saying they\'re doing that, but it is usually best to be independent in fact, AND APPEARANCE, when doing something like this.  <br />\n<br />\nI\'m guessing that the actual card graders at PSA have little, if anything at all, to do with this graded card slab authentication program they\'re now involved in with Ebay.  Many people have voiced concerns about how PSA has a huge grading backlog they are still dealing with, so they question how can they take on additional work like this for Ebay?

These things they do are likely being done from a more purely business standpoint, in mitigating any potential liability and other concerns, that may arise and scare off potential sellers and customers. Truth is, hard core collectors, like most of us on this forum, are not critical to Ebay\'s business, and Ebay virtually never thinks abouts or concerns themselves with Net54, or care what and how we feel about them.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nStill, I can\'t imagine Ebay does things for no good reason.  They likely view some of these things they are implementing as potentially heading off issues they feel may impact their business negatively down the road.

But just like how they suddenly decided to start collecting sales tax for every auction, I think a lot of their reasoning was that they figured that if they didn\'t, they could be losing sellers.  Think of all the people selling on Ebay that don\'t really know, or want to know, about collecting and remitting sales taxes.  Also, that would have called for all their sellers to start registering with various states for licenses to collect and remit sales taxes.  My guess is that Ebay saw that a lot of sellers would be gun shy and not want to bother doing that, or ever put up with the hassle of sales tax collection at all.  And Ebay probably figured that since they are such a huge marketplace, they\'d have a target on their back from states looking to find out who was selling on their site and ask for info to go after them.  Ebay actually sells nothing, and is not at all responsible for collecting and remitting sales taxes to states.  I can easily see Ebay thinking that by going overboard, and working out a deal with the states to collect sales tax on behalf of all their sellers, the states would be happy, and the sellers wouldn\'t have to deal with this and register with states and keep track of all this.  That way they stay selling on Ebay.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nThese other moves regarding authentication are likely some kind of a pre-emptive things they think will help keep customers and sellers for them down the road.  I know there are lots of people who think this new authentication program by Ebay is a scheme for them to be able to end up billing more fees.

Keeps customer confidence strong, and helps the legit sellers want to stick around as well since this can potentially help them against scam buyers trying to rip honest sellers off.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAnd if Ebay eventually gets to make a little bit in doing so, they aren\'t going to turn it down obviously.  I\'m just not so sure, as some others seem to be, that profit is one of their main motives in doing this, unless you\'re talking about the continuing profit from having sellers and buyers on their platform.  I\'m referring to the idea of this authentication program for the cards necessarily being a new profit center for them as the main reason for doing it.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=2227585" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 2227585 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_2227585_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">BobC</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=154">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=154" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to BobC</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=154" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by BobC</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 2227585 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #2227585 -' + '->';

But just like how they suddenly decided to start collecting sales tax for every auction, I think a lot of their reasoning was that they figured that if they didn\'t, they could be losing sellers.  Think of all the people selling on Ebay that don\'t really know, or want to know, about collecting and remitting sales taxes.  Also, that would have called for all their sellers to start registering with various states for licenses to collect and remit sales taxes.  My guess is that Ebay saw that a lot of sellers would be gun shy and not want to bother doing that, or ever put up with the hassle of sales tax collection at all.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>I forget the specifics, but my understanding on the sales tax decision was that a court case came down which put the handwriting for that on the wall. I\'m not sure if eBay was compelled to put that in place by a certain date or if it was just obvious that they would soon be challenged if they didn\'t. I will agree between issues like this, and changes to policy such as surrounding authentication - it would seem more difficult to business on eBay than ever before.<br />\n<br />\nWhen I first joined eBay, you could see full info. on both sellers and buyers, and even message competing bidders. I once contacted a bidder who kept topping me saying "Hey could I persuade you to let me win this (vintage scouting photo...) because my father-in-law is in it, and I would like to give it to him as a gift."  The guy wrote back and graciously agreed.

I\'m not sure if eBay was compelled to put that in place by a certain date or if it was just obvious that they would soon be challenged if they didn\'t. I will agree between issues like this, and changes to policy such as surrounding authentication - it would seem more difficult to business on eBay than ever before.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWhen I first joined eBay, you could see full info. on both sellers and buyers, and even message competing bidders. I once contacted a bidder who kept topping me saying "Hey could I persuade you to let me win this (vintage scouting photo...) because my father-in-law is in it, and I would like to give it to him as a gift."  The guy wrote back and graciously agreed. Can you imagine anything like that happening today?</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>John,<br />\r\n<br />\r\nEbay has definitely changed over the years, as you noted.  They don\'t want anyone talking and sharing info so they potentially can have them go and deal off Ebay.  They are just as strict and concerned with keeping their business with these other moves they are making as well.  That seems pretty clear.  I\'ve worked with so many different businesses and business owners over the years, nothing surprises me as to the extent and levels many businesses will go for to see their goals achieved.  Ebay does not have a monopoly on being an online sales platform, and they know it.  Yet, they are the biggest and most well known platform out there,  and stay there by being pre-emptive and taking care of things before they become a potential problem.  This is all part of them staying #1.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=2227517" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 2227517 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_2227517_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">BobC</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=154">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=154" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to BobC</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=154" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by BobC</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 2227517 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #2227517 -' + '->';

Don\'t forget, Ebay is a publicly traded company since 1998, and answers to their shareholders, not their buyers and sellers.  It just works out that in some instances, what is good for Ebay, is to be doing good things for their buyers and sellers so they keep coming back.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nEbay didn\'t start collecting sales taxes on behalf of all sellers because they wanted to.  Same with things like these authentication programs.  Ebay was doing well and making lots of money before instituting such changes, why would they suddenly decide to go through all the additional time, effort, expense, and hassle to do these new things if they didn\'t think it made sense to them from a business standpoint in the long run? <br />\r\n<br />\r\nAnd as you noted, some of these new changes they\'ve made are actually going to work against Ebay\'s business.  Like sales taxes being collected on all sales now.  Buyers hate that they are now getting hit with sales tax on everything.  Just go back and read posts from some members on here in threads right after that new rule was put into effect by Ebay.  So Ebay may lose some buyers from making that change.  But in doing so, Ebay is likely also thinking about the additional hassle and work their sellers are going to have to now deal with in regards to sales taxes, and how that may drive many of them to stop selling on Ebay.  So by taking on the sales tax collection, remitting and reporting obligation for all sellers, it removes that burden from them and makes them more likely to continue selling on Ebay.  And something else many people probably didn\'t even consider, it also appeases many of the bigger sellers on Ebay who would have had to start collecting sales taxes in various states due to that Supreme Court decision back in 2018 regarding sales taxes for online sellers, South Dakota vs. Wayfair.  Because of their larger sales volume, many of these bigger Ebay sellers would be forced to start charging sales taxes in many states, whereas the smaller Ebay sellers wouldn\'t reach those thresholds requiring them to collect sales taxes, and wouldn\'t ever have to charge sales taxes on sales made to other states.  This would give an unfair advantage to smaller Ebay sellers over the big sellers, which would piss the big sellers off.  By Ebay deciding to just handle the sales tax themselves on all Ebay transactions, it appeases all the sellers, and especially their biggest sellers, by not giving some of their competitors who otherwise wouldn\'t have to charge a sales tax, a price advantage over them due to the sales tax. Ebay may lose some customers who don\'t want to pay the sales tax, but they won\'t lose them all.  But if you lose the sellers, there are no Ebay customers at all because nothing is being sold.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nSee the logic behind such a business decision?  I\'m guessing there is similar thinking and logic behind these other decisions and changes Ebay has been making as well.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=2227823" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 2227823 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_2227823_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">BobC</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=154">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=154" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to BobC</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=154" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by BobC</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 2227823 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #2227823 -' + '->';

It is a grey area, to be determined by facts and circumstances in each unique situation.  As I was saying, getting a 1099 can initially give the impression that you are operating a business on Ebay, and if you get one but fail to include the info from it on your tax return, when the IRS comes calling, do you think they\'ll view the income you may have earned from selling a card as a long term capital gain automatically?  I don\'t think so.  LOL   That 1099 doesn\'t tell the IRS what you were selling.  For all they know, you were selling widgets.  So they generally assume the worst case scenario for taxpayers (and the most tax being owed to them), figuring that will get a response and explanations and answers back from the taxpayer.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe IRS actually follows a list of nine different factors they will look at to help determine if you are operating as a business, or if you are really in a hobby. The additional idea of being an investor for tax purposes is fairly new, and hasn\'t really been formally addressed by the IRS, yet, as sports cards being considered as true investments, like stocks and bonds.

With the way card prices, especially vintage, have gone up in recent years, most people with vintage collections they\'ve had for years will not be worried about selling at losses.  However, look at a modern collector who spent a ton of money on a modern rookie, that ended up being a bust.

If I am selling an investment and I have documented the cost basis for the item and the net I receive from the sale, characterizing it is my choice on my tax return (investment or business).  As long as I accurately report my profit, in whatever form, there should be no problem in the end.  I get a 1099 from Vanguard and Schwab for my investment income.  That doesn\'t mean I am a stock brokerage, even if I trade every damn day.<br />\n<br />\nNow, I could see the states getting pissed if there was no sales tax remittance from frequent selling \'investors\', but eBay collects the sales tax for the sellers, so that isn\'t an issue either.  <br />\n<br />\nI just don\'t see how a 1099 in and of itself makes you run away from the platform <i>unless you are a tax scofflaw</i>.  <br />\n<br />\nAnd don\'t think for a minute that this won\'t eventually get to auction houses.  The big internet selling platforms were the first, but a multi-billion-dollar business is certainly going to attract the attention of the revenue agencies.<br />\n<br />\nif you want to cheat the tax man, you have to go with cash and that cash can never, ever formally enter the financial system.  And that is when you visit the cross-bar hotel if you get caught.  Just pay your taxes.

Put yourself in their shoes for a second.  You come on the forum and have a tax related issue/question, but haven\'t seen all the prior tax threads and posts.  Nor do you realize to go looking for them.  I see it and try to answer, based on the specific facts and circumstances you have, so as to give the most accurate advice/answer I can.  Hell, I don\'t remember all the posts I\'ve made on all the different tax topics.  So rather than my trying to go back and find and link them, I figure it is easier to just answer them right then and there.  And invariably we get a couple people posting some additional things that aren\'t exactly accurate or pertinent, so I have to expound on that to make sure you, and possibly anyone else reading the posts with similar questions, doesn\'t then take and use/follow the not so accurate or pertinent information.  And to my credit, I have actually explained to one poster with tax questions how to do a search of all my posts, which I then advised him to go back and just start reading.  LOL  (That probably kept him busy for a while, huh?)<br />\r\n<br />\r\nI\'ve stated on here before when others have questioned some of my long, detailed posts, that I would gladly stop posting then to help out with tax questions and issues.  Others then posted in response, and also reached out to me privately, to not stop doing so, as they find the information extremely helpful and thanked me for offering to help.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nif there were some easy way to accumulate all my tax related posts in regards to our hobby, and then put them in one place so a newbie asking tax questions could be simply pointed to that resource, I\'m all for it.  If you can tell me how to do it, great.  Otherwise, I\'m stuck answering questions as they\'re asked, or I can just quit providing info and answering tax questions all together.  I\'m really easy to work with, and honestly just trying to help people.   <img src="forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" class="inlineimg" />\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=2227967" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 2227967 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_2227967_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">BobC</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=154">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=154" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to BobC</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=154" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by BobC</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 2227967 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #2227967 -' + '->';
