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

If it’s stuff you already own, the income would be based on the difference between what you paid for it and what you get for it. Likely, you’re selling at a loss, so that’s not income.

Notes: IANAL and have never been on unemployment.
