Amy shared: “Sell clothing and toys on eBay only.”
Hi Amy, Selling only on eBay still needs Virginia's Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, and eBay may collect tax for some sales but not every one. With the certificate, suppliers will accept Form ST-10 for clothes and toys you buy to resell. Finds from yard sales and thrift shops come with no resale paperwork, so keep your receipts. We can file the registration and your EIN.
Short answer: In Stuart, Virginia, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For an eBay clothing and toy business, that means the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
Virginia calls its seller's permit the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST-10 Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. 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. In-state buyers using Form ST-10 generally need a Virginia registration; out-of-state buyers can cite their home-state number. Out-of-state buyers do not need a Virginia registration to give a valid Virginia resale certificate.

Short answer: Nebraska Reseller License: the key filing in Nebraska is the Sales Tax Permit. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form 13 Resale or Exempt Sale Certificate before they sell to you tax-free.
The Nebraska version of the seller's permit is the Sales Tax Permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form 13 Resale or Exempt Sale 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. Nebraska is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its Form 13 covers resale purchases. Goods bought at wholesale, liquidation or thrift can be resold with sales tax handled by the marketplace, while a resale certificate helps with bulk supplier purchases.
Tip: Keep a simple log of what each item cost; the sold-listing screen cheerfully ignores your purchase price.
