OfferUp partners with Stripe, a secure payment processor, to manage payments for online shipping sales. If your total earnings from these sales reach $5,000 or more in a calendar year, Stripe will report this to the IRS and send you a Form 1099-K to use when filing your taxes. For more details about the form, see our FAQs.
