Short answer: Wholesale Info: in Ohio, what most people call a wholesale license is the Vendor's License. With it, and a Form STEC B Sales and Use Tax Blanket Exemption Certificate for your suppliers, a craft seller can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
The Ohio version of the seller's permit is the Vendor's License. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form STEC B Sales and Use Tax Blanket Exemption Certificate. A vendor's license is required for retail sales; a business making only sales for resale may not need one. Ohio requires a vendor's license to make retail sales, and a resale exemption can be denied to an unlicensed buyer. Suppliers of handmade crafts and supplies typically sell to registered resellers without sales tax once a resale certificate is on file, and the tax is collected at the final sale.
Tip: Even occasional sellers at fairs may need to collect sales tax, so keep a log of every craft show and what you took in.

Selling to customers in all 50 states means California's seller's permit for your home state, plus tax duties in other states once your sales there pass their thresholds.
