form 1099-k using turbo tax desktop for windows - how to offset this gross amt with shipping/ expenses ?

I don't know how to offset this form 1099-K from ebay.  my gross was only 5263.00 and my expenses shown on ebay site were $1405. clearly putting me under the 5K threshold!  Why are they reporting this gross amount and how do I offset this in my turbo tax deluxe software?  Where?

 

Also, I only sell items I have purchased for my own use and am not a business.  Do I have to list myself as a business in order to only show the net and not this gross amount?  Do I say I'm a hobby seller, to claim expenses and ebay fees?  I currently selected Personal item sales since that is the category that seems to be accurate for my situation.  This whole situation is ludicrous!  I appreciate your response. Thank you
