eBay 1099-K for Personal Items- Amending Return Correctly?

Hi all.

I sold about $7,400 worth of personal clothing/items on eBay in 2024. Overall I did not make a profit with most items sold for less than I paid.

eBay issued a 1099-K, but I accidentally forgot to include it when I filed my 2024 taxes so I’m amending now just to report it. I’m entering cost basis equal to the sales price so the result is zero taxable gain.

  • Is this the correct approach for personal items sold at a loss?
  • Any concern about audit risk for amending only to report the 1099-K?
  • Anything else I should do/document?

Thanks for any guidance!
