you’re pretty much on the honor system as far as income tax goes - if you’re just selling some used items, like at a garage sale, don;t even worry about it - if you’re treating it like a business,worry about it when you are grossing $1000 per month in gross sales (not profit) - but keep track of your costs of items sold, ebay fees and paypal fees if you use paypal

At some point the IRS may address this issue but as for now you are the only one that reports the income. If you use paypal or some other means to collect the funds they may report.
