Taxing Your eBay Profits
by Tim Knox
As a small business person-slash-advice columnist I dread the first quarter of the new year. Not because in my mind my own business fortunes start at zero again every January or because I have already dismissed every New Year’s resolution I made when the clock rang out the New Year.
No, the reason I dread the first quarter of the new year is that my email box floods with questions about business taxes and the IRS, my two least favorite subjects on earth.

Taking Paypal on eBay
by Terry Gibbs
Accepting Paypal as a payment method might increase your selling prices and your profits. This depends on what you are selling. I sell collectibles to collectors. My clients are like junkies.

Selling Digital Downloads Via eBay Classifieds Is Still A Crap Shoot
by Tim Knox
Last week I told you that eBay had decided to ban the sale of digital downloads via its traditional auction system. This means that digital media sellers will have to deliver their goods via CDs or DVDs, or post them for sale on the eBay Classified system. This week I'm hearing from lots of folks who have tried to post sales to the eBay Classifieds only to be denied the privilege of doing so or having the ad cancelled by eBay for policy violations that no one - not even eBay staffers - seem to understand. Once again eBay has everyone confused and upset. Same stuff, different day. Learn more
