        Answer: According to What GA sales tax law, you will need a seller's permit AKA sales tax ID to sell merchandise for your Online Selling.

To buy  Merchandise and  accessories  wholesale, you need a sales tax id also called a seller's permit.

The way that works is after you get the seller's permit, you use the resale certificate that comes with the permit to fax or email  a signed copy to the wholesaler, and then you can buy wholesale.

Then you need the permit number so you can remit the sales tax you collect from your sales on Amazon and eBay.  You also need additional licenses to run your online business.

So you need at least a DBA, LLC or corporation, the seller's permit for that and as a business, a business license and an EIN.

If you hire people to help you, you need to open an employer withholding account and that requires a state employer ID as well as a federal tax ID to pay withholding taxes for your employees.

I am starting to sell retail online through Amazon from my home. I am located in South Carolina. My goal is to resale women's clothing and accessories.

A: Certainly, Starting A Business Selling Through Amazon is not an easy task, especially if you sell clothing and stuff online thru Amazon. However, the majority, about 80% succeed selling at amazon because let's face it amazon is a great platform to sell on.  The first thing to get  a seller's permit along with a  business license and an EIN. The fictitious business name "Sheena's Boutique," must be recorded with a DBA, LLC or corporation as well.

             Q:How To Get A Resale Permit For An Online Store? I am a reseller who has an online retail store. I buy wholesale products and sell them on my website . Knitwits 37 Boutique. Wanted to Get Sellers Permit For Online Business   Retail. Starting to sell online merchandise and was wondering whether online businesses need to get a seller's permit?

I will be selling as a vendor until i can get a store front selling local location is at home and online address is 14101 sparta ave lot 54

   I am a selling anything that is a retail item, electronics, jewelry, clothes, shoes, hardware and tools. I will buy new, used and refurbished items to resale. I will buy and sale wholesale and in small quantities. I will sell online (website), my home, at different business locations, and in all 50 states. I will use ebay and amazon also

A: Yes, more than 31% of the GNP, though, less than $5,000,000.00 is generated through retail sales business. Online businesses must get a seller's permits if they sell merchandise. You also need to file a dba for "AnoMinne Retail Finds," fictitious business name and get a business license because all business, including online and home businesses must get a business license. I would say 99% but it is more like 99.9% that need a business license reqardless of the location that they do business. .

               Retailers need at least a retail permit AKA retailer permit, a business license and a DBA doing business assumed business name. Retail businesses need at least a resale permit or wholesale license AKA seller permit. You also need a business tax registration license and a an assumed business name if you have a  retail business name.

               Though less than 2 million retail businesses, there is about 1.6 ml retail stores not including online retail.

               Note that if you hire retail employees, you will need an IRS EIN and a State EIN as well. Even one person retail business can set up a corporation or LLC. There are a lot of retail businesses in the USA.

               The retail commerce includes retailers such as home repair, electronics, clothing, furniture, car parts, and food retail businesses.

                There are about 20 to 30 million retail businesses in the USA.  Even though less than 50%, the retail industry is a leading business start-up for the U.S. economy and, together with the government sector, employs more employee than the other sectors.

               More than 30% of the GNP, though, less than $4,000,000.00 is generated thru retail sales business.

               The process that the retailer uses is simple: he finds what the shopper need is and he satisfies it with better quality and less expenses than the competition.

               So, you can purchase goods from Tawain, for illustration, and sell it in the U.S. for profit.  You buy an part at $1 and sell it @ $2. A no brainer!  Although fewer than 2 million retail companies, thee about 1.5 million retail stores but that does not include the online sellers like eBay, Amazon, or Etsy, sellers.  Perhaps the most trendy and prominent type of retail business is the retail store, such as various retail shops on busy streets, department stores like Dillard, and other merchandise walk in stores.



               However, the business retail stores such as home depot, office depot, and best buy stores are retail stores.

                There are levels of stores as well.  There can be a 99 cent store but also K-Mart, a higher type of shopping encounter, and, also Gucci who accommodate to the rich tastes.
