问个问题，关于如果F1学生在ebay开网店和持绿卡的人合作

偏心树

LZ一直喜欢用ebay买东西，偶然间发现可以买东西就试了一下，卖了一个包和一个项链，收到400刀左右，然后paypal就发邮件跟我balabala。。。说要SSN，然后我查了才发现不能F1的学生不能卖东西。。。牵扯到报税记录啊什么的，我就不卖了。之前400刀应该没关系吧？
我下学期想在ebay上做点服装生意，听说可以喝有绿卡的人合作，我室友的阿姨是美国人，可以和她合作吗？有什么要注意的吗，还有具体怎么操作呢？
对做生意有兴趣所以想试试。谢谢回答么么哒

在ebay要的哈哈，因为paypal和银行卡和ebay啊都有记录的。而且到了一定数量会上报给国税局好像。论坛不要紧，原则上的原因是F1根本就不允许除了校外有任何盈利的行为。

Selling on Ebay or Craig's list is a tricky situation for an F1. Briefly, F1's are not allowed to work unless you obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) from the USCIS. There are strict criteria to be met for an F1 to obtain an EAD.

Typically, if you are selling your old bed that you bought for $100 and selling for $50, if you have proof of the original purchase then there is no income and thus no employment. However, if you are buying items for resale on Ebay, that has a strong likely hood of interpretation as employment, albeit self employment.

If you open an online store then, in my opinion, you are engaging in employment which is prohibited.

有一个叫self-employment的东西。这个还是小心的为好，要是有人举报，移民局很可能会找麻烦。
