Default Re: paypal

Isn't that just great? My wife sells Barbie Dolls for a friend trying to get rid of a lot of "stuff" her deceased sister left her. 100% of the sales after fees goes to my wife's friend to help her out. Her friend is an older lady who is not computer literate. I have to wonder if PayPal counts shipping costs as part of what they report. Both eBay and PayPal now charge a fee for the value of the shipping. The vast majority of the parts I sell are sold for what I paid for them, sometimes less if I am tired of moving them around or someone needs them for a project as opposed to resale. That does not count the expense of travelling thousands of miles per year, swap meet spaces, etc to get the parts in the first place. If you run a business, you probaly keep all of those records, but hobbyists?
