Total Income (Revenue) - Expenses = Taxable Income

Technically? Yes.
Realistically? No auditor can track what you sold at a garage sale, and the generated income would likely be considered immaterial and not over intial price.
Where Ebay crosses their line is when people are selling cars and big ticket items, or generating a considerable amount of revenue per month where it is essentially a business.
Its the same thing as gambling in Canada. Gambling winnings are non-taxable, unless it is your primary source of income to the point where it is considered your 'line of work' and then you have to claim the earnings as business income. Losses arent counted as expenses however, sorry guys.
