Question about exchanging BTC for gold and gold resale

[don giovanni]

These btc for gold services, do they actually send you gold in the mail? If you sell your gold to a shop they typically ask for your info, is that info collected or searchable by the IRS? I mean is the sale private or does it become part of your government dossier? Are there better ways of getting your BTC out "off the books" other than cash-in-mail?

Not sure how it works in America - I know in the UK they ask for your address and ID in most of the shops I have sold gold to, and if you purchase over £20k they also need your id.
However if you got cheap bars/coins/rounds from other members of the forum here or even some of the shops which sell for BTC what is to stop you selling it on ebay?
Usually you get a better price off ebay anyway than a "cash for gold" store
