I haven’t been on here in a couple of years now but since then new tax laws were implemented requiring us to report our extra income over a lower threshold. The “rules” post recommends using g&s like it always has but I was wondering if that’s still the standard? I was thinking of selling more of my throws and don’t want anyone spending more money if they don’t have to (myself or the buyer) and I’d also rather not have it registered as “income” given the laws I was referring to. Tl;dr - is everyone using friends and family now? Or are we still mainly using g&s? Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this in, if there’s a better area, I missed it and I’m sorry. ---

I always use g&s unless I’ve bought from that person a few times. Still risky honestly. G&S all day for me 🙂 ---

It’s back up to only reporting if your earned income is over $15,750 for most folks. _not tax advice. [(link)](https://www.irs.gov/individuals/check-if-you-need-to-file-a-tax-return)_ ---

goods and service is of course the safer option, _although, I and a few others who are active buyers and sellers usually use F&F to avoid the fees but proceed with caution as always (seller/trader/buyer feedback goes alooooong round these parts)_ ---
