ebay seller's source of inventory?

[MadgePadge]

Maybe naive question from a non-US citizen: dosen' your IRS go after so-called private sellers who sell new merchandise in bulk?

If you're an ebay seller, PayPal reports anything over $22K automatically reported to the IRS. PayPal sends the seller a W-9 at the end of the year....

A lot of times I think sellers get inventory from store sales and clearances.
