Form 1099 for those not living in California

I know this may be a stupid question and may have been answered - but here goes. What is the threshold to receive a 1099 form to include with my taxes and when should I have received it?

multiple purchases by one buyer and mailing them in one bulk package

I have a buyer who wants to make offers on several items and receive those items(after price negotiations) in one consolidated package. I am not 100% sure how to go about that. I have a couple ideas but not sure if they are in compliance with E-BAY r...
