How does ebay determine gross income on an items sold when determining if a seller needs a 1099 form?
For example I sold item below for $35 +10.50 for shipping.
LG VX8360 Simple Verizon Cellular Phone Flip Phone For Seniors 3G Cell Phone | eBay
The ebay fees were 6.50
so when ebay considers my "Gross Income" to track for the 1099 form do they record $45.50 or $39?
Also i recently had a order i had to cancel so i never saw the funds.
Is this part of the 1099 total or neglected since i never saw the funds?

Your 1099-K will include the sum of all payment transactions. If you issued refunds, those would be an itemized deduction on your tax return. If your payments total $600 or more, you'll be issued a 1099-K. If your payments are less than $600, you'll file your tax return the same way except there will be no 1099-K to attach.

So in my first sample whats the amount ebay is recording?
is it $45.50 or $39 for example?
if an order was canceled and never left my home its still listed in my 1099?

The payment is $46.50, so that is what goes into your 1099-K total.
If you cancel that order after the buyer pays, you would deduct the refund on your tax return. (It doesn't matter if it never left your house.)

Thanks @inceptions !
Now I am clear that the 1099-K will consider the total sale price before ebay fees are deducted.
Additionally canceled orders that end up with a refund still count as a sale, so it's added to the total sales of the 1099-k.
I brought this up since I was just selling some old items to clear up clutter in my home. So, I wanted to do the math to see if I was getting close to the new 2022 $600 threshold here in CA for the 1099-K.
Thanks Again for the help!
