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.

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 Ebay Home Business llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Tools 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 Absecon business name. Instead of filing a Atlantic County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in NJ or form an NJ LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

What licenses does an eBay home business selling tools need in Absecon, NJ?

Hi Richard, selling tools on eBay from Absecon is retail, and New Jersey wants the Certificate of Authority registration for it. With it, your tool suppliers will accept the Form ST-3 Resale Certificate and tax number, so you buy stock tax-free. Selling to buyers in other states may owe tax there past their thresholds, though marketplaces like eBay often handle that for you. Keep your own records anyway.

Short answer: In Absecon, New Jersey, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For an eBay home business selling tools, that means the Certificate of Authority, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.

Buying and selling wholesale in New Jersey

New Jersey calls its seller's permit the Certificate of Authority. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form ST-3 Resale Certificate. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. New Jersey's ST-3 resale certificate requires the buyer's New Jersey registration number for in-state buyers.

The paper trail for Absecon, NJ

LLC – suppliers and banks take an LLC more seriously than a name on a napkin
Trade Name (Alternate Name for corporations and LLCs) – lets the bank accept checks made out to your business name
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – wholesale suppliers and banks ask for it on credit and account applications
Certificate of Authority – required before the first taxable sale, including online, flea market and craft fair sales
Form ST-3 Resale Certificate – keep a copy on file for every supplier you buy from tax-free
State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance
Absecon business license – needed even for home-based businesses, which may also need a home occupation permit

If you sell across state lines

Arizona: the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. Arizona's TPT is a tax on the seller's privilege of doing business, not a tax on the buyer.
Texas: the Sales and Use Tax Permit. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate.
California: the seller's permit. A California resale certificate normally shows the buyer's seller's permit number; sellers accept it in good faith to skip tax.

Industry code: NAICS 444130 (Hardware Retailers), 459999 under the 2022 update for online sales
