  • I can use an sdr to read your water meter and determine how often you go to the bathroom, shower, wash your clothes, and when you’re home and it’s not illegal. I’m allowed to follow you around and take your picture as much as I want to. I can print off as many pictures of you as I want in public and wallpaper my whole house with your face and body, there’s nothing you can do about it. I can do an 8 hour video essay about you and share this with everyone. As long as the info is publicly available (or not in most U.S. states), it’s legal.






  • That’s strange that they allow the sender to do that. The way it was when it first started is that everyone got the 1099-k over the $600, even for personal business.

    I sell a lot on ebay so I have to deal with this, but I usually have expenses like shipping to deduct. It’s a pain because I also sell personal items, so as long as I can show my basis in the item I can deduct it. This becomes difficult in certain situations. I bought factory alloy wheels for my car and sold the steel wheels for around $50/ea plus shipping. What is my basis in the wheels? It’s part of my car technically, but what percentage of the purchase price of the vehicle was wheels? I just didn’t bother trying to deduct that.
