I'm temporarily laid off from work starting Monday for an unknown amount of time, I get max unemployment for NYS. Can I sell stuff I own on ebay etc to make some extra money or does that fuck over my unemployment? I'm not a business just myself. Wasn't sure how that all works

As long as you don't sell to much at a time then no. Also the reality is they won't really know unless you tell them. Obviously if you are pulling in $50,000 a month that will probably show up.

Tbh id be lucky to sell maybe $100 in a short time

practically speaking nobody will do shit over 100 bucks personal transaction.

in this position focus on surviving and getting cash flowing again.

if you are using ebay and it will be reported to the IRS, then read what the form says when you do weekly certification. if they can cross reference, then it is not worse playing funny games.
