sell in e bay retirement ?

[cristian3_6]

my question is
My only job is e bay. If tomorrow I retire, will I collect retirement because I sell on e bay?
I've been selling in e bay for about 5 years
Thank you so much

No one here can answer that question.  If you've been paying into Social Security, go here to get the info you need to set up an on-line account so you can view your Social Security Statement:

https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/statement.html

From that site:

"Your Social Security Statement (Statement) is available to view online by opening a my Social Security account. It is useful for people of all ages who want to learn about their future Social Security benefits and current earnings history...

"The redesigned Statement now includes a bar graph displaying your personalized retirement benefit estimates at nine different ages, depending on when you want benefits to start. It also includes your earnings history, and information on how to report an error if you find one...

"We encourage you to review your Statement annually."

This post just makes me laugh! Not at you, but the idea that eBay would pay us retirement. You really didn’t think that was an option did you?

[cristian3_6]

I thought that but it's not like that
only social security pays for that now I understand
for each year I pay the taxes of the e bay in the accountant
it's good that everyone knows that there are benefits

No, you DON'T understand -- you will NOT receive retirement benefits from eBay.

You are NOT an eBay employee -- you are a private, independent seller.  You are responsible for your OWN retirement.   You will receive NOTHING from eBay as a retirement program.

Where did you work before you began selling on eBay?  What was your job?  

It really doesn't sound that you're prepared for retirement.

Are you sure this is not a great "pull your leg", "spoof" kinda thread?

Sorry.............just not buying that 34 posts later there is still some "confusion" on this topic?

Well, the OP has been asking similarly-worded questions since 2014; so my gut instinct is that he's legit.

But that's about all.
