Wrong. They have to pay income taxes if they run a business, no matter whether it's a brick & mortar store or an ebay business. If they choose not to, they will be in trouble with the IRS if they are ever found out.

They do have to pay, using the form for a small business. Just tell the IRS who is not paying and they will give you 10% of the tax they collect.

Where do you get the idea that they don't have to pay income taxes?? They most certainly do! They're no different from any other business owner.

Legally, they do if they are making a profit.
I sure wouldn't bet nobody is evading taxes on ebay sales. I also wouldn't bet nobody is evading taxes on other types of income.
Sometimes people lie, people cheat - and sometimes people get caught and punished.

They are independent contractors they pay their own taxes every 3 months or at the end of the year.At least by law they are required to.

They are supposed to pay. I suppose many of them don't, but they are supposed to.
