Withholding Taxes
I noticed in my statements that the only things deducted from my sells were seller fees and shipping costs, but I was wondering if there was a way for ebay to also withhold taxes for you? My fear is that when tax season comes I will have a large tax bill to pay for not having taxes withheld. My thinking is that I rather have taxes taken away from every sell than having to deal with one large payment.

Mentor2 years agoIn addition to the previous reply, the following can also be deducted on Schedule C of your 1040 tax return: mileage to the post office/sourcing, storage space if renting it for your inventory, internet service, P.O. Box.

You will get a 1099k if you sell over $600. You deduct your expenses from the gross. I deduct the following>shipping> eBay fees> supplies you have the receipt for> item cost.
