I looked everywhere, even under my mattress. 
I'm assuming this is "before" the fees come out.
The IRS is watching, Bob. That a audit area, so watch your 6.
That or I'm gambling on line in my sleep! 
That's how much you have sold since 2004. That's gross not net to you. Hopefully you've been reporting your income
Maybe you spent that on Jeeps
Stopped selling on evilbay 4 years ago and don't miss it one bit. I sell everything on Craigslist, forums, or swap meets. Craigslist is kinda a pain especially when trying to coordinate times to see/buy and waiting for people to show. However my hatred for evilbay outways this inconvenience. Plus with these three sales outlets, I keep 100% of the money.
I was never a seller, on e-bay, but I purchased a fair amount of items. Car parts, computer related items and home stereo stuff.
I got a e-mail from Pay Pal, telling me that they have made changes in there policy, as far as usage and sales tax reporting was concerned. I never signed the agreement, and haven't bought another item on e-bay. WTH
That was 3 years ago.

Recently purchased an oil pan. Could not pay for it. For some reason it would not let me. Seller contacts me to say he now has the shipping price and to send him the money as a friend. So I contact Ebay, and they say they will tell him to send me an invoice. Again I get an email from seller to send as friend. I have been burnt once and won't get burned again. So to finish, I don't pay him and I get a negative on my account from Ebay. He still has 100% and it is up again for auction. To me, that was the deal I had been looking for and now can't get it.
All you had to do was show Ebay the message from him wanting you to pay that way.
Dealing with ebay is laughable! Anything you search for on there when you have a problem takes to you to a generic FAQ that is worthless! You can't even email them and they took the message boards down so you can't even ask questions in there. They want you to call and probably sit on hold. Screw that! 
65 Red, I feel your pain. People often say just talk to them. I did. I did again and again and again. I talked to Paypal. I talked to them again and again and again. Nothing. They both said they could do nothing for me. I told them to shove their accounts. Then I called my credit card company and disputed it. And just like I told PayPal and Ebay, they will have to deal with it. And they had to. And when they kept emailing me, I kept telling them to shove it. Unfortunately a year or so went by and I started new accounts. Although I don't have hundreds of thousands of sells like some people here that will go nameless 
I had been on since 2002 and had spent well over 33k and sold a little too. That didn't matter to either of them at all. And to top it off, I was 100% in the right. But they don't care.
