The reason for this is obvious. The IRS has discovered the underground
economy flows through eBay and has come down on them as being ultimately
responsible for all of the $$ the govt does not get. They also have hit
the credit card companies. This has occurred in the last 6 to 8 weeks.
So between your credit card records and the eBay records they will be
able to see how much your little business is grossing. They will also,
out of the goodness of their hearts make this information available to
your state.
