Invoice, or not invoice ?

Time to time i buying staff at other popular audiophile online platform. Always asking sellers for invoice to pay them and newer was refused till last time when I tried to buy $100 piece of cable. Before I used to buy lots of staff with invoices by my first request. What’s your thoughts, do you avoid deals with no invoice?

I've never asked for or been asked for an invoice.  I can understand a business buying from a business for bookkeeping purposes, but what are you expecting an invoice to do for you in a private sale? Protect you from fraud somehow?

Was it PayPal?  

Many sellers, myself included, will not invoice if using PayPal.  Sales under "goods and services" automatically generates a PayPal notification to the IRS of "earned income".   You pay income tax on the sale.
