Fees & financials
We’re committed to building a vibrant marketplace that makes selling seamless and easy by offering a digital copy of your 1099-K.
Go paperless! In the coming weeks you’ll be able to opt in to get a digital copy of your Form 1099-K
Online marketplaces like eBay are required to issue a Form 1099-K annually to sellers that have surpassed federal or state thresholds within a calendar year. We’ll issue the form by January 31 and we’ve made it easy for you to opt-in to receive a paperless copy. Going paperless is a convenient, secure, and reliable way to get your Form 1099-K.
Here’s what you need to do
- Log into your account. You’ll see a notification banner in Seller Hub and My eBay prompting you to opt-in to receive a paperless Form 1099-K.
- Choose to opt in by clicking the link provided in the banner.
- Check that your email address is up to date. If the email bounces back, we’ll mail you a paper copy.
