Dear Immigration attorneys,

Can valid J-2 EAD holders (with no restrictions on their EAD card) sell stuff on e-bay or similar websites? (Seems somewhat tricky as its not strictly an "employment" with an "employer." Any suggestions?)

Thanks,
Ratan.

Also, can the above J-2 holder with EAD work for more than 1 employer?

Thanks in advance,
Ratan.

If there is no restriction on EAD, you can work more than 1 job, or if you are not "employed", you can sell things online, trade stocks, etc. All you need to do is filing income tax accordingly.

Thanks for the excellent piece of advice! In your reply, you mention that J-2 EAD card holders can sell things online and buy stocks only if they are not "employed." Can they also sell stuff online/buy stocks if they are employed somewhere else at the same time (as long as they do it after work hours ofcourse)? Thanks a tonne again. :)

Actually you can do anything as long as you pay income taxes.
