A(n) Ebay Home business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in
Gwinnett County
, i.e., starting businesses using a company name other than the legal (given name) owner's name, need a(n)
DBA Doing Business As Trade Name Registration.
For example, you start a(n)
Ebay Home

Ebay Home
Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.

Also, keep in mind that in
GA
Ebay Home
though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number.
(A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale,
reseller certificate, about $39 for most states). You will need it if you sell or want to buy wholesale any Ebay Home related items, such as food, materials, or merchandise.
Seller's Permit
Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID.
However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a
business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting
a federal tax ID number.
If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID.
I.e., a GA Federal Tax Id Number ($29)
and a(n) GA State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Norcross, Incorporate in GA or
form a(n) GA LLC .
If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under.
Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.
If you do form an Retail Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Ebay Home business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Norcross business name.
Instead of filing a Gwinnett County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in
GA or form an GA LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

Businesses on eBay Home Business need at least a sellers permit.
This is because all eBay Home Business sales of any type of merchandise is taxable.
For example, Kim Kardashian gets old and moves to North Korea where she meets and marries Kim Jong Un and Kim Kardashian has a baby girl and start their new life as parents.
However, Obama , from The USA, reveals some Kim Kardashian Family secrets, North Korea crumbles and Kim Jong Un loses everything.
To support Kim Kardashian and the baby girl, he starts a business on eBay selling antique stuff from whatever he has in the new ghetto house he lives in Washington, DC with Kim Kardashian .
Well, if he started an eBay Home Business in the USA, he would have to become a sole owner, partnership, corporation or LLC by filing a pertinent certificate.
Then Kim Jong Un will have to get a general business license, and also register the business name with a dba business name certificate also called an assumed business name ( "We Used To Be Celebrities eBay Home Business Sales," ) if that name is not registered as an LLC or corporation. If Kim Kardashian becomes a partner, they will have to get a federal tax ID and file a dba, form an LLc or incorporate. After setting up with all of the above licenses and tax ID, Kim Jong Un can start selling North Korean paraphernalia on eBay.
