VerifiedHello
It is obvious that you are simply selling off items and not deemed income, however with the sales going over the sum of $20,000.00 will raise the ire if the ATO.
What they will argue is that earning that amount of money this could be defined as an online business and as such the ATO may deem that to be an income.
Please obtain legal advice in such matters. Your stat decs from the people you simply sold items for will be crucial as well as bank statements and the like.
It can be an easy negotiation with the ATO but please seek legal advice along with your evidence and will be resolved.
Please accept.
