  A few questions on what and how to start an online business.

  Posted 16 Oct 09 11:18 am.

  hey yall I'm new here I've been selling on ebay for a little over a month now and saving up money so I can invest in some product to resale. I'm wondering what some good suppliers would be for me to start out with? and I was also wondering what kind of tax ID and licenses I need to get starting up a new online biz? thanks

  Hi dwjmoto,
  
  Hope your doing well on eBay! :)
  
  Good suppliers..there are plenty actually but that would depend greatly on the products you plan on selling. Kindly let us know what products you are interested in and we'll help you locate suitable suppliers.
  
  I suggest you read our section on Business set-up in our Education tab. I'm not sure where you're currently located but you'll find pretty much most of the information you'll need there, here's the link:

  SALES TAX - The piece of paper that goes by many aliases! The sales tax Id is also called a Retail or Reseller's License, State Sales Tax Id, Tax Id, Resale Number, Resale Certificate, or Vendor's License.
  
  And Just a brief run down on what a sales tax ID and Business license is ...
  
  SALES TAX ID - All of these names are referring to one thing: A certificate issued for a small fee by your state (if you live in Canada or the US) that says you are registered to collect sales tax. You can usually get one from your State
