Hi!

I too am new at this. I've sold many items on ebay, but have never had a need for tax ID. If I plan on turning my eBay into a store, and selling wholesale items - do I need a tax ID number?

Hi Brooke and welcome to the forum,

In regards to buying from suppliers. Wholesalers will require a tax id, where as dropshippers and surplus suppliers usually will not. So if you have one, it does open the opportunity to deal in wholesale purchasing.

Thank you for the great advice, Mark. I needed to research how I can get a tax ID should the need arise, and I found this article that might be helpful for retailers planning to use dropshippers:
