Your entitled to your opinion,
but insulting people for disagreeing with you is rude and making false claims against them is ILLEGAL under civil law. MAKING FALSE CLAIMS about me and others that we are CHEATING ON OUR TAXES tells us ALL WE NEED TO KNOW about YOUR INTEGRITY!
If I was arrogant, obnoxious and sure that I was right and everyone else is wrong, I would put something here like "Period OUT! End of story!" But since I'm not, I won't.
Nobody can DEMAND payment by ANY method. They can request it, or make it a requirement of doing a transaction with them, but that's hardly "demanding" anything. Everyone has the freedom to decline any terms they don't agree with.
I have a 100% positive feedback score here on Bladeforums, with over 100 transactions, at least 20 or more I was the SELLER, and I always asked for payment G&S. I would never buy or sell by F&F. The problem is now, the government is taxing us 100% on sales where we LOSE money, UNLESS we are willing to file our tax returns using a form that ONLY APPLIES TO BUSINESSES - not hobbyists, or individual citizens not engaged in business.
END RESULT: I buy a knife for $185 and decide to sell it for $130 after I have it for awhile. But if I sell it G&S, I only have two options: 1 - Pay tax on the full $130 as INCOME -or- 2 - file my taxes with proof of my purchase and sale dates and prices, on a tax form reserved ONLY FOR BUSINESSES. This has all kind of potential negative consequences for individuals / hobbyists, which I assume any accountant will be glad to take your money to explain to you, the way that mine did.
