Gotta be careful, I used to think the $500 - $1000 they gave me didnt mean anything....was I ever wrong. lol

These days, I print the statements....and give them to my accountant.

You hit the 20000/200 limit inside a year and your personal account now gets reported basically as a business venture.

What bugs me is I used to use Paypal for both personal and business, can't do that anymore. Everytime you "trade" parts on a forum the sale is recorded regardless whether you lost on the trade. Hit that 20000/200 deal and its gonna be fun showing Uncle Sam that you actually don't make 20K extra if you are not incorporated.
