Hi Kimberly, Selling hunting and fishing supplies on eBay from home requires the Business Registration Certificate (sales tax). Suppliers will accept the Form F0003 Exemption Certificate with your permit number for tax-free wholesale purchases. Shipping to all 50 states can create sales tax duties in other states once you pass their thresholds. Some hunting items, like firearms and ammunition, have extra restrictions.
Short answer: Seller's Permit WV: the key filing in West Virginia is the Business Registration Certificate (sales tax). Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form F0003 Exemption Certificate before they sell to you tax-free.
West Virginia calls its seller's permit the Business Registration Certificate (sales tax). When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form F0003 Exemption 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. West Virginia is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so the uniform Streamlined certificate is also accepted.

Tonja asked: “I will sell ladies garments on eBay, online.”
Hi Tonja, Selling women's garments online from Virginia calls for the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, which lets you collect tax on taxable sales and buy inventory tax-free. Present the Form ST-10 Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption and your permit number to each supplier. Marketplace sites sometimes collect tax for you, but you should still register and keep records, since your business is the seller.
Short answer: For an online women's clothing business in King George, Virginia, the essentials are the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.

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.
