StubHub Tickets Income

I received a 1099-K from Stubhub for some tickets that I sold.  We have season tickets for an NFL team and we sell some of them to cover the cost.  We sold 6 games for a total of $5,486.40.  I am trying to enter this into TurboTax, but can't seem to enter it in a way that is acceptable.  I select income from 1099-K, then sale of personal items and i enter the full sales proceeds as noted above.    It seems to accept it, but later when it runs a smart check it pulls up a new form (1099-B Worksheet) asking for additional information.  It tells me the sales proceeds on this worksheet do not match the payment amount from the 1099-K.   I have tried a few different ways but i can't get it past the smart check.  Any help would be great.  

 

Regards,

 

Tom
