But won't whoever pays it into his account get suspicious of the money coming into his account from Paypal?

That's effort. Chris doesn't seem to like effort. If you could snap a few pics and put garbage from your house on eBay, then not ship them, wouldn't you do that over create a comic?

At least I can say that Chris puts more effort in than Andrew Dobson. Seriously, I’d rather buy Chris’s stuff over some gay shit Dobson makes.

Selling junk regular people might buy is a good idea, but he actually has to send it. Someone who wants a collectible lighter is not going to futz around because they know Chris is disabled. He really needs to be up on this if he wants to actually make money. Ebay does not refund all fees on refunded due to not received or received broken.
IRS does not determine his social security. Social security would need to know he is working and making more than he is allowed, which is determined by formula that allows him to make more than they say he can make through working.
Strangely enough, I would assume that this would be his argument. He did not have any income because he spent it all the money. Some of the money would be exempt from taxes as actual gifts (giver pays taxes or takes part of gift exemption), but he would need to show what is gifts and what is money earned from sales and work.
No one knows that he got anything unless his Paypal account gets $20,000 incoming and 200 transactions in year (about $1667 and 17 transactions per month). That is the how it works. Once you hit that, Paypal reports it to the IRS with 1099-k. You then take out your costs, any gifts, and anything counted twice (payment covered in a 1099-misc from client, for example) to show what your income was and then include that on your tax paper thing. 1099-k does not include ebay fees, paypal fees, gifts, or chargebacks. That is up to you (well, your accountant) to calculate and then adjust when it comes to reporting incomes.

They probably don't even know about it, and it could be under Barb's SSN.

IRS isn't obliged to prove profit margins. They can prove revenus, and it is up to Chris to demonstrate costs to show how far below revenues his profits are.
That seems to dodge the question a little. It's true that if he were independently wealthy he wouldn't lose eligibility, but I don't think that was the point being made.
His tugboat is based on the premise that his autism prevents him from earning a living. It isn't directly compensation for being afflicted with autism or something like that. So if he is able to earn money despite his autism he would no longer be eligible.
But the underlying point still holds. It isn't obvious whether or not Chris has technically violate the terms of his SSDI. And it is pretty obvious noone is going to look into it closely enough to sort it out.
Whatever the case, in the grand scheme of things it is clearly not among the most blatant cases of disability fraud out there. I am sure most of us know people who collect disability for years because they occasionally have back pain or headaches. Chris is legitimately really autistic. His autism greatly reduces the pool of jobs he is capable of, makes getting and holding a job more challenging for him than for most, and makes rising above entry level positions virtually impossible for him.

They were misdemeanors not felonies.
And the fact that your employment prospects are damaged by your criminal record is not grounds to claim SSDI.

By God you guys, I just realized. If barb hadn't have hoarded all this stuff over the years, they wouldn't have all this shit to sell when they were poor.
The hoard is saving their lives, barb wins. You know she can't wait to die to be able to tell Bob i told you so

As some one who had to apply for SSI now due to a spinal injury, and I have several friends who were born with serious defects physically and worked with those with mental defects..I assure you, if Chris' internet business was known to the social security office, his tugboat would be reduced. You literally can only make so much a month before it is. If he's even making 400 a month, it would be reduced significantly. Effectively, if you can earn per week what you'd make for 10 hours at minimum wage, you can see your SSDI reduced by 1/3 to 1/2.
Most people realize of course working part time+partial disability is actually better then relying on the tug boat. Except Chris, Chris is Exceptional.

If she hadn't hoarded all her life, she would still have some money in her account and wouldn't have a second mortgage on what was a paid off house.

Chris’s tugboat is through Bob and has a higher threshold normal disability tugboats.

While Chris is likely not versed enough in this contingency, Chris can claim significant income through donations which wouldn't be considered "income" by SS.
Whoever is helping Chris when the this shoe finally does drop can just have him argue that all money he has received are essentially gifts, and anything he gives to them is basically a pittance for the donators good will.

It's also likely that Barb has paid for a large portion of the hoard several times over since most of it was paid on credit cards. Considering that their credit is probably poor, I'd imagine the interest rates they got approved for were astronomical.

Yup. Ever since the day Bob got him signed up for SSDI, Chris has believed he gets more money through it than he would actually working part time.
Though at this time I'm not sure how much of it is him actually believing that and how much of it is him simply trying to justify not getting an actual damn job (not like at this point he'd even be employable since he couldn't even last a month at Wendy's)

Maybe if Barb weren't a hoarder, it wouldn't have rubbed off on Chris and he would've actually retain the values Bob tried to instill on him. I think Chris learned from Barb that it's okay to hoard things- the shopping he'd do as a kid to coax him to speak contributed, but Barb's hoard only exacerbated the problem.
Now Chris shirks his responsibilities to buy toys whenever he has a dollar in the bank, and if Barb were never a hoarder in the first place I don't think he'd have ever gotten to this point.

For the bajillionth time, Chris does not receive SSI, he receives SSDI.

Shouldn't he have his SSDI revoked? And go down for fraud? Since he, you know, cured his autism using binaural beats a few years ago?

OK so I'm guessing the way benefits are paid in the US is different to the UK? In the UK you have to let the DWP know if there is a change in circumstances (ie new job) so they can alter your benefits accordingly, or cease payment.

It's the same, I just don't think you have acquainted yourself with crooked people. They are everywhere.
