For now.
What upcoming bill will have a small provision reducing those numbers?
I don't doubt it at all.
Plus I think that eBay, etc. CAN report the smaller transactions -- it's just that they aren't mandated.
I agree with other comments along the lines that you will need the mark of the beast to do any sort of transactions on the Internets soon. The "Internets" meaning the eBays and the Paypals and the Craiglists -- WHAT??? You mean those are all owned by the same company??? And that company is left wing oriented? HMMMM
