There's actually no problem with that, as long as he doesn't go out and spend all that new money.

One can only hope, I guess, but isn't that pretty much what he's been doing? I don't know if he's acquired the ability to learn from his mistakes already... I'm not trying to be mean, it's only what he's shown us through the years.
 
How dare they demand he pay his car insurance before driving his new car on the roads with everybody else. I mean, it's not like he's ever caused any problems with his driving is it?
 
Brother, the Hulkster's worst week was when the Million Dollar Man bribed Earl Hebner to replace Dave Hebner and steal the title from the Hulkster for Andre the Giant. The Hulkster learned from that, though, man. The Hulkster learned that even after something bad, that isn't your fault, happens, the only thing you can do is buckle up and face it head on. Chris needs to learn a lesson, too, man. Only Chris's lesson should be to save 1/3 of each of his sale for shipping/fees/taxes
 
People really need to stop saying "If he sells more things, he'll only rack up more fees." Selling things is his only non-tugboat way of making money, and the value of each sale is higher than the fee it incurs.

Ceasing sales to eliminate new fees would be idiotic beyond belief.
 
I'm not sure that I understand the reason for Chris to offer free shipping (aside from eBay hammering it in as a suggested selling method with every auction), since free shipping is usually exclusively used as an incentive to purchase one seller's items over another's similar items. Since Chris has no competition in the Sonichu Medallion market, charging a negligible $5 shipping fee doesn't seem like it would really deter anyone set on buying anything he makes, and it would save him a pretty nice chunk of change - even after eBay takes their cut of the shipping cost.

Offering free shipping is for total suckers.
 
Dear Chris:

I finally figured out why I owe the gas company $100. It's because I used $100 worth of their services last month. Holy fucking shit, isn't that amazing! Anyway, I only need to sell a pair of used socks on eBay for $100 (FREE SHIPPING!) and it'll all be good. I'll even autograph them for you.

It's gone just as soon as he gets it, then when it comes time to pay for actual important stuff he goes into panic mode. In all the times he does this never once does it occur to him "Hey maybe I should save some of this money just in case."

Chris's brain just isn't good at making things go "click".
 
I'm inclined to sorta agree with him. Being in debt to a multinational (and perhaps soon, in trouble with the IRS) is worse than having to kill off a fictional character in your shitty comic or being extorted into sticking medallions in your ass.
 
What's the worst thing that can happen if he doesn't pay his paypal fees? Lose his ebay account? I don't think they'd bother taking him to court over such a small amount of money. If he weren't so damn autistic, he could just get some white knight to set up an online store where he could cut out the middle man.
 
Not so much an "Epiphany", but more like "Chris realized how real life works" for 30 seconds.

I just...I don't know what to say right now. Maybe PayPal will take Legos in lieu of currency.

With all the LEGO he's bought surely he has a few of these around:

He's a ways away from having IRS issues. Ebay doesn't have to send a 1099 until you crack $20k in sales, and I'm guessing he's barely going to hit half of that. Even if, by some miracle of Godbear, he managed to make $20k in sales he'd still only be responsible for taxes on about 50% of his earnings. And to all the weens reading this-- No, don't call the IRS and report Chris, because they don't care. They'll polite listen to you report him, then promptly shitcan your complaint. Because they don't care.

That being said, I'm all for Chris getting hit with a huge IRS bill. Yeah, he'd never pay it, but the rantings of Chris "Kaka AppleChrisp" Chandler, the Lesbian-Soul Freeman Transgendered TEA Party Social Justice Warrior would be mind-bendingly hilarious.
