The owner shared: “I am a self-trained home jeweler, specializing in wire work, chainmaille, silversmithing, and stained glass.”
A wholesale license does not exist as such in North Carolina. What you want is the Certificate of Registration for sales and use tax, which lets you sell your jewelry and stained glass and buy materials tax-free. Suppliers of silver, wire and glass will ask for Form E-595E, the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption, for anything that goes into pieces you sell. With two employees, add payroll registration.
Short answer: Wholesale License For Wire Wrap And Silversmithing: the key filing in North Carolina is the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption before they sell to you tax-free.
North Carolina calls its seller's permit the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is 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.

Krista shared: “I am a crafter and want to start a website. I will buy jewelry supplies, accessories, and clothing wholesale. I will sell on eBay, Etsy, my website, and to customers nationwide from my home.”
Hi Krista, with jewelry, accessories and clothing from eBay, Etsy and your site, the starting point is Alabama's sales tax license. Wholesalers will then take the resale certificate showing the buyer's Alabama sales tax account number for items you resell tax-free. Nationwide customers can mean owing sales tax elsewhere once you pass other states' thresholds, and Haus Of Turquoise needs a DBA unless it is your LLC's name.
Short answer: For an online jewelry and clothing shop in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the essentials are the sales tax license, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
In Alabama, the seller's permit goes by the name sales tax license. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier an Alabama resale certificate. Wholesalers making no retail sales may get a state sales tax certificate of exemption (Form STE-1) instead of a sales tax license. Many Alabama cities and counties levy their own sales taxes, some administered locally, so local registration can be needed too.
