    Actually I think there is a law that if you make over a certain amount of money from selling things on the internet, via paypal, you do have to report taxes on them. A friend and I were actually talking about this the other day.

    Not at all.

    But the seller did have to pay some fee's to sell that money, which goes to PayPal taxes. I believe?

    The IRS only comes looking if you have over 20,000 on paypal in trades. Not to worry mate.

    Unless you sell something for over 20 grand nothing can happen. :)
    That's why cars and things like that are rarely bought on ebay

    I actually talked to a friend in finance because I was a little concerned. He said that as long as transactions aren't exceeding $10,000 I should be fine

    This the correct answer. Nick had to report it to the government since there was $20,000+ coming in and out of his PayPal in a year's time.

    Paypal is required by law to file taxes on 20k or more, it really can't be avoided. :(
