You don't pay taxes because you probably have no income [allowance your parents give you doesn't count]. If you have some regular or semi-regular income that's not previously taxed [if you're employed by someone, that person/firm is usually required to pay your taxes before giving you your pay check] you would be required to pay taxes. Being a minor or living in USA dosn't matter.

E-bay is not completely US based. Other countries, like te UK, have their own subsidiaries of E-Bay. This is an attempt to prevent country specific illegal trading, for example it is illegal to sell certain drugs in the UK, so thise adverts are banned from the UK based E-bay. Now, the IRS could get their information from the US E-Bay and tax accordingly, however all people have to do is sell on other E-bay sites, or any other site for that matter and their income becomes untracable. This the the beauty and danger of the internet, it is so annonymous. Well, I think that it would be all or nothing deal. I mean, if US IRS start taxing E-bay sells, do you really think that other income tax agencys around the world would just sit by and watch? Or would try to get their piece of a cake also by taxing E-bay subsidiaries in their countries?

I agree with Scudman, this is a poor article and below Tip.it standard. Which makes it two out of a last three. As for people saying that Jagex is UK based... that is irrelevant. What is relevant is that E-bay is US based, and traded made through it would be the ones that will be taxed.

diddo... does this mean we'll have to pay rs money or real money? Neither. You'd only have to pay real money if you sell something over E-bay or by some other mean for real money. All the trades that happen in-game for in-game money will not be taxed.

The Editor in his Rant against tax system completely missed two very important points. First of all, if you sell something in real world for real world money, you're required to report that income and pay taxes. Or if you're paid for doing some job. So minors pay taxes on money they earned just like adoults do [or you think that minors who are professional actors or athlets don't pay taxes on their earnings?]. Second, what IRS consider taxing is REAL LIFE money gained by selling in-game items [or even accounts] through E-bay or some other means. Not in-game money earned by selling items within RS or any other MMO. The only thing that IRS [and all the other tax collectors around the world, don't kid yourself] consider taxing are trades which happen in Real Life. Third, determining how much is some item worth is not what IRS is concerned and would bother with. If someone, for example, sell Phat set for 1000$ real money on E-bay, IRS would tax those 1000$ income and not bother at all how much is that Phat set worth in-game. Now, considering that selling in-game items for real life money is against the rules of RS, there is no fear for us who play RS [other than those scammers and authoers who sell in-game items and gold for $, and they deserve to be taxed]. But it would be a hit [how big would depend on how many tax collecting agency's around the world start taxing such sales] for those MMO's who do allow real life sales of in-game money, items and accounts for Real Life money.
