    Yup, silly, but that’s how it shook out. Best part is I communicated with a TB rep and he had to deal with her.

    That’s so odd.

    I’m going to gin up some excitement for my new blogger/influencer handle TacomaYeast and then approach KTJO for a piece of the action. What could go wrong?

    "TacomaYeet" might be better seeing as she's been yeeting all over herself trying to figure out how to not keep fucking everything up.

    Just in case this hasn’t been mentioned.

    https://runningwithmiles.boardingarea.com/paypal-payment-network-reporting-stimulus-bill/


    So, what exactly does this mean? It means that, for returns beginning next year, third party network platforms like PayPal will be issuing forms and reporting to the IRS for all accounts if the transactions exceed $600 for that year. Fortunately, they did make the clarification that this will only apply to things that are categorized as “Goods or Services” as opposed the “Friends and Family” option with PayPal.

    Why will this matter? It will likely affect a lot of people who had just listed some old stuff around their house on eBay that they were no longer using as getting over $600 will now trigger a 1099-K form. Also, it means that if use any third party payment network for anything, it will now be automatically reported if it is over $600 meaning you had better make sure you have all your receipts to show your deductions against that sale price!


    Interesting article. Carry on.

    So I sent an email to this ktjo shop the other day and said "you build and sell OEM parts?!". Then I saw her shit get held at the border. Then the site went down. Now that the site is back, 0 mention of "OEM".
    Too funny

    I don't see oem mentioned in the grab handle page anymore.
    But then again, maybe it is me missing something... It's awfully early in the morning lol

    Ahh, I see what you mean. It looks like she has removed it from some of the pages - but if you go to the drop down menu and select 3rd Gen Tacomas it lists all the products - grab handles still say OEM as do other items she sells. When you go to the product specific page, some have had OEM removed, some not.

    We both need more coffee. :rofl:

    Unfortunately sellers get away with it all the time, especially on eBay. They'll sell an aftermarket part like wheels that look factory and put Toyota OEM Quality Rims in the title. Makes searching for real OEM parts a chore.

    Wonder if that's why Ebay is no longer using paypal. They've moved to using their own inhouse payment system now.

    Is the blocked Suez being blamed for “wish fulfillment” on the next order of grab handles yet?

    Well dang, I went looking for something like this and unfortunately all I find is this 220 page nightmare storybook. Hopefully y'all get your orders soon enough. I'd love to get my hands on a good driver side handle one day, but don't want to deal with this headache

    I will say that importing stuff right now is friggin weird. Had a container on ship in Korea, ship had to make a stop in a Chinese port, ship picked up more containers, made it to LA port where it sat undocked for 3 weeks waiting to get offloaded. Now that it's offloaded it still hasn't made its way out of the port on to rail. Was supposed to be here first week of February, still not scheduled out of LA. (Not that that's the situation here, just a perspective).
