Drewswife Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hello all!I am curious as to what type of permit you have to have to sell your products online? I will be getting my vendors license after the first of the year and didn't know what other, if any permit I would need to sell online.Thanks so much in advance!

Candybee Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Check with your local county office and state department of taxation to find out what license and tax id you need. Thats a start. Each state is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJuris Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have been selling online for about 6 years on my own websites.I have also been selling on Etsy and Aftfire for about one year.You don't need any type of permit, but if you have a website you need to have your own domain name. You can register a domain with Godaddy.com.Here is some more information on how to choose a great domain name:http://www.inexpensivewebsitecritiques.com/domainname.htmlYou don't need to do anything to sell on Etsy, Artfire or any type of similar website. You just have to pay their fees. Each of these sites have different fees such as a listing fee and selling fee, so you will have to check each website to see what fees they have and how much they charge for their services.

elfcat Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 You don't need a permit to sell online other than the usual tax and IRS paperwork. Here in PA you need a sales tax and use license and if you are selling under a name other than your own (a business name that does not include your name) then you need to apply for a fictitious name permit and pay a fee.
