Perhaps this will be helpful.

 

You are reporting IRS form 1099-K and reporting personal sales.  

 

Box 1a is $10,000.  Box 1a is broken down as $1,000 for 30 items sold at a profit and as $9,000 for 220 items sold at a loss.

 

You may enter the 30 items individually and the total of the Proceeds entered would equal $1,000.  Or you may enter one entry using short-term basis and a second entry using long-term basis.  The total of the Proceeds entered would equal $1,000.  In either case, the detail of the 30 items sold should be retained on a spreadsheet should a tax authority have a question about the transactions at a later time.
