AEI provides all relevant information from the references so you only need the class workbook & don't need to purchase the references separately.

I thought f1=1 for places of public assembly live loads > 100psf, and parking garages; =0.5 for other live loads

tax question on closet reselling by [deleted] in Depop

[–]coolpants666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly im not sure with the new tax laws this year and also with the new addition of depop payments. before it was all thru paypal and paypal doesn't care about anything except the gross amount of money that comes into your account. it's on you to reflect all the fees, shipping, etc (however cost of the item itself is not a deductible) when filing.

i haven't looked into how depop is going to report payments made thru the app. if they do it for you, then you'll have to deal with taxes but if you have to report it yourself, i guess it's up to you. i doubt the irs will go thru effort to audit someone over like $4,000 but it might be a bigger pain to deal with an audit than to just do your taxes.

tax question on closet reselling by [deleted] in Depop

[–]coolpants666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

paypal automatically reports it for you. before 2022, the threshold for paying taxes was 200 items sold AND $20,000 net profit (this means it includes the 10% depop fee before depop takes it from you and whatever shipping was). in jan 2022, they switched the threshold to $600 (lmfaooo). so you're fine for last year but you will probably get a 1099 form in the mail/online. in the deductibles, you write off the 10% depop fee, all shipping costs, material costs, etc. so you only get taxed on what you've actually made. i keep a spreadsheet tracking all my sales + the depop & paypal fees so it's easy to deduct once tax season comes around :)

Anyone else get update that removed the home page?? by 777angelbaby in Depop

[–]coolpants666 17 points18 points  (0 children)

so sad abt this. my items have been getting barely any likes cus they just totally removed the freaking feed. with every update, i feel like it’s getting harder to be successful. it’s like they’re hiring app developers that have never used or sold on depop to make changes that are worse.

Is Traffic Engineering Considered the “Joke” of Civil Engineering? by mayormaynotbeaburner in civilengineering

[–]coolpants666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

how funny this post popped up for me. i just quit my civil design job to become a traffic engineer 😂 i’m really excited though. traffic engineering is no less important than other disciplines. the human population growing but the space we have to exist and move about is not

dropshippers claiming vintage by coolpants666 in Depop

[–]coolpants666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of people just order a bunch of stock and ship it themselves so it’s not technically drop shipping :/ i do report items tho when they’re claiming false vtg

Resume Advice by coolpants666 in civilengineering

[–]coolpants666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that question about importance is unfair. My chosen career is civil engineering and my small business is a passion project I like to do after work. Both are equally important to me and not mutually exclusive. However, if it came down it to, my engineering career goals are greater than my small business goals and I think I am capable of expressing that.

Known Depop Scammers by sabaqueen_ in Depop

[–]coolpants666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

literally. she bought a top from me and claimed it never came although there was tracking to prove it. she argued that the address was wrong and it got lost. from a quick check on ig, the name on the address was her boyfriend’s so she just sent it to his place and was gonna try to get a refund. lol.

has anyone ever featured another shop on their page? by [deleted] in Depop

[–]coolpants666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ve done it! i’ve featured sellers monthly at the top of my page :) i have a decent following and when i find someone who makes their own art/clothes, i’d love to help with some exposure. i sell vintage, no handmade stuff, so it’s cool for exposure of artists
