eBay Selling

✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) eBay Selling :

Sole Proprietor,
LLC,
Corporation or
Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.

✔ Biz License

Shorewood Business Tax Registration ( eBay SellingBusiness License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) eBay Selling business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in , 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 Selling business and you call it "Ultra eBay Selling Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.

✔ Seller Permit

Also, keep in mind that in IL eBay Selling 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 Selling related items, such as food, materials, or merchandise.
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

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.

✔ State EIN

If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Shorewood, Incorporate in or form a(n) 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.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Other llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your eBay Selling 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 Shorewood business name. Instead of filing a fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in IL or form an 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.
