Selling personal Items on Ebay from Japan Issue ;(


I’ve been selling some items I have collected over the years in Japan on Ebay. I have registered my payoneer account etc with my MY NUMBER.

I read somewhere you need to make over 200k yen profit a year before you would need to declare the income for tax. On this website:

But a collegue found out i was selling items online and said i could get deported for doing something like that.

I’m super paranoid and worried about it now… Could my job fire me for doing something like this? I am maybe making 100k yen profit per year at most. It is most certainly not a business I’m just selling some old toys, music, band shirts I have accrued over the years.

I have permanent residency so i thought I can sell my possesions freely and my co-worker saying these things has made me really paranoid and worried.

Is there some kind of rule that I can’t sell things abroad? Like and I must sell within Japan on Yahoo or Mericari?

Or am I free to sell without registering as a business or filing taxes provided I work full time and am just selling personal possesions and my profits are below 200k per year?

Sorry for all the questions!

Some peace of mind on this would be greatly appreciated! I think even if my visa was not permenant resident, you would still be able to sell possesions online?
