The very first incidence EMF came into my awareness was in the early 2000's when I used a Motorola earpiece for phone calls and every time after hanging that ear would feel really funny, like weird fuzzy feeling. I just dismissed it as ok I can't use earpieces and never gave it any more thought beyond that. By 2017 I was already experiencing a lot of health symptoms that were starting to get in the way of normal life, like sleep issues, insomnia, anxiety, etc. I had a major gut infection that summer and I googles all the symptoms I was having, night sweats, blurred vision, shooting pains down my chest, muscle crams, was very prone to static shocks, I mean painful jolts just walking around. Some googling point to mold illness so I was on that for a moment and then that lead to mercury fillings toxicity then EMF sensitivity came into the radar through that. Then in late 2017 I rented an Airbnb for a couple days and the very first night I woke up catch my breath and in a state of anxiety, I knew the place was bad but I didn't know what. The second night same thing and thought came to mind that hmm the router was just behind my head on the other side of the wall and my phone connected to it, maybe that has somethin to do with it. So I opened the window for wider for fresh air but then flipped my sleeping position around so my head is closer to the center of the room away from the router and although it wasn't in my thought, aways from the power lines in the walls as well. That was the beginning of my realization that EMF's might be the cause. As the weeks went by and I became more sensitive and aware, the more confirmation I got until I became so sensitive that there were no more doubt. Absolutely zero doubt that I would be my life on it and there are very very few things I would claim to know that I would bet my life on. I have always been very careful with claiming I know anything for sure.

(For selling on eBay)

I'm approaching the 200 mark and wondering if I should just quit for the year. For some reason I thought getting a 1099-K would make it more tedious to do taxes, is this not true?

Are there any other changes that would take effect from getting a 1099-K?

Is it allowed here?
Sellers needs some preemptive action because blocking after the fact isn't going to save us any headaches or money. They just go on doing it to the next seller.

I'm so glad this sub lets you post their eBay user name. I understand it protects honest sellers from false claims but it also protects dishonest users and preventing us from warning other sellers about them. Calling them out through feedback is risky to retaliation and such to your own account.

I got a $550 dollar order from ram2buy for a pair of ram modules.
It was delivered the next day around 1pm. At 3pm they ordered two more sets for $1100.
My thoughts was ok, I'm a new account, they wanted to make sure it was legit and now they went and ordered the rest they wanted.
I shipped out this second order within an hour before UPS closed.
At 4:15pm the tracking showed this second order as being dropped off.
At 5pm the buyer messages me saying both of the first modules were "DOA" and "will the ones I just ordered be the same?"
I told him these were tested before listing, and that I've sold hundreds of modules this year on other accounts and platforms and this was the first failure I have had. I asked him to describe what the failure is and if the shipping box was damaged or anything. I also asked him to make sure everything else was in order, that their system can accept it or if it was installed properly, etc. And that not to open the second order and just return them for a refund. Then I remembered I can intercept the package and went ahead and did that without telling him. I said there's nothing else to do but to return them if you say it doesn't work and I'll check it out make sure the serial numbers are correct etc and said I'll refund the second order as well.
He ghosted me until the next day.
He says well if you say they were tested, they(the second) order should be fine. Seems like he still wanted them after all this? I also had the same two sets on an older high rated account for only 6 dollars more per set and he didn't order them. This is a company that had over 5000 feedback stars, so have spend a ton of money buying and now he wants to risk buying from a new account to save $12 bucks , AFTER the first set is "DOA"? Doesn't make sense. He said weird that they didn't boot in 3 different systems they usually test these types in all the time etc etc. Apparently he seems like the buyer for the company. and just two minutes after this message, he says oh he just talked to his tech and looked at the report, it's actually only one module that was bad but we have to reject both as it's from a kit. They saw damage on one of the pcbs. Like really, he did all that in 2 minutes and waited til the last minute to talk to his "tech" and read the report? At this point i already thought he was scamming me and can't believe that they might have went so far as to damage it themselves to get a NAD return. I said send me some photos of the damage. He never did.

So he shipped them back to me and I see no apparent damage, Popped them in to test one a time, and they booted up the first try and passed he memory test just fine. What the hell, that is strange but was happy both were working.

What do you think was going on here with this buyer? Was he hoping I would say keep them and let me send you another set replacement? Was he setting me up for the other two sets? In the end he wasted my shipping and intercept fees and time.

TDLR : buyer ordered set of ram, says DOA, Says tech can see damage on the PCB. Even wanted two more he ordered even after knowing the first set was DOA. Very experienced buyer/seller for an established company get them back and nothing was wrong with them.
