@ aniwolfe and uberwaltz, Thankyou for your responses, I do agree fleabay is killing me, of course I prefer us audio mart, let's talk about audiogon, I started out as a seller on audiogon, even preferred audiogon over eBay, my last sale on audiogon put a bad tast in my mouth, I sold an expensive item, there was a hold on PayPal, as it turns out, it was the buyer, he simply had to confirm payment on PayPal, I explained that to the buyer a few times so I could conclude the sale, what happened was the idxxx! Accused me me of a scam with audiogon, big mess, I had to pay for my listing fee again, audiogon deleted my negative feedback on the buyer after I willing gave a refund!, lost all my watchers, etc...you talking thousands of dollars of a refund when nothing was my fault, to say the least it's been a while for me selling anything on audiogon, then next thing I know, audiogon starts this tax ID thing, to me that smells like I would be responsible for paying the taxes in to IRS, now on eBay the buyer pays taxes, however, you see the taxes on the sale, but never receive that part of the payment, eBay and PayPal turn the taxes in for you at the end of the year, and possibly get a partial refund if you actually treat all of this like a business, deductions during the year, us audio mart I don't believe you have to worry about all of this because of the absence of taxes currently, so as much as I like audiogon, and now no way of having your own blue book you create from item's on watch list, knowing what the current what something actually sells for and this tax ID, I find it difficult at best to persuade me to sell on audiogon on a regular basis, cheers
