Kathleen asked: “1. jewelry sales 2. I will purchase wholesale jewelry and sell to customers on eBay, in all 50 states, from my home and other people's homes and businesses”
Hi Kathleen, A business ID to shop wholesale is North Carolina's Certificate of Registration for sales and use tax. Once you hold it, Form E-595E, the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption, lets wholesale jewelry suppliers sell to you tax-free for resale, and they will usually ask for your registration number too. Selling on eBay and at other people's homes counts. Selling to all states may create tax duties elsewhere. Jewels to You needs a DBA.
Short answer: In Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a jewelry reselling business, that means the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
The North Carolina version of the seller's permit is the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. A wholesale merchant must register; wholesale-only businesses with no taxable sales or purchases can choose a wholesale-only option and skip filing returns. North Carolina lets registered wholesale-only merchants opt out of filing sales and use tax returns.

Tynnishua asked: “Sell goods and services wholesale online.”
Hi Tynnishua, To buy at wholesale prices, a Virginia supplier will want the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration and Form ST-10, the certificate of exemption. Selling to the public online is retail even at wholesale prices, so that registration is needed. Gifts Of Love LLC can use its exact LLC name without a DBA. Sales into other states may create tax duties there. We can file it all.
Short answer: In Alexandria, Virginia, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For an online jewelry and goods 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.
The Virginia version of the seller's permit is the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier 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.
