    Tax ID for dropshipping or EIN

    Posted 12 Aug 06 4:12 am.

    hey guys i've been searching and searching and posting and listening.... lol
    I was searching into dropshipping, I'd like to start by doing this on ebay to get my feet wet. and came across a resgistration form at COMPUTER GALLERY reqyesting a business tax id or ein.

    I live in Ontario, Canada, does anyone know which one or whether or not I need one?
    And do you need a DBA and Business license to get one ?

    any help would be greatly appreciated !

    Hi Shark, laws are different in different places...in US, you can get a DBA to allow you to open a business account. You can also get a free federal business id....in most cases, if you are a sole propriety business, your tax id is your social security number. Email the vendor and ask them as you are Canadian, what do they need from you.

    Hope that helps.
