Our next stop for the Outright 1099-K MeetUp tour was the East Coast. We visited the Seacoast Sellers’ MeetUp first. The meeting was held in Portsmuth, right on the New Hampshire/Maine border.
This was our first MeetUp after the 1099-ks had arrived in houses, so the sellers had lots of questions about how to reconcile their 1099-Ks. We talked about doing this through PayPal’s CSV download or through Outright.
Additionally, there was lots of discussion about the Marketplace Fairness Act (requiring sales tax collection from online sellers) and the 1099-K Overreach Prevention Act (repealing the 1099-K). Both bills are pending in Congress. Regardless of how a seller feels about these bills, it’s important for sellers to have their voice heard. You can express your opinion on these bills to your Congressperson and Senator at VoxPop.com.
The morning after the Seacoast MeetUp, Outright headed out on the long drive down to Hartford, Connecticut. When in Hartford, we visited the Connecticut Sellers Group. We had a great discussion about selling on eBay and Amazon. One of the sellers explained how it’s sometimes better to sell large ticket items on eBay because it’s more economical in the long run.
After we left Hartford, Outright headed by train to the Big Apple. Our last stop on the East Coast was the Etsy Headquarters for a Live Stream. More on that in another post…
