EBay has been forced to reveal the identities of about 15,000 people who sold more than $20,000 worth of goods on the trading site in one year, as part of a government crackdown on welfare fraud.
The Human Services Department has confirmed it is conducting a pilot project to ensure welfare recipients operating online trading businesses are correctly declaring their income and assets.
