Selling anything is a business that Minnesota treats like any other retail one, so you need the Sales and Use Tax Permit for taxable goods. Suppliers will ask for your Form ST3 Certificate of Exemption and permit number before selling tax-free. Pick a product focus early, since wholesalers like a clear business, and it simplifies sourcing. Shops needs a more distinctive name before you register it.
Short answer: Wholesale License In Minnesota: Minnesota doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Sales and Use Tax Permit, backed by a Form ST3 Certificate of Exemption.
The Minnesota version of the seller's permit is the Sales and Use Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST3 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. Minnesota is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its ST3 form covers resale purchases.

Packing tape squealing, parcels stacked by size, and a phone that buzzes with another sale.
Short answer: Buy And Sell On Internet: an online sales business in Simpsonville typically needs the Retail License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
South Carolina calls its seller's permit the Retail License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-8A Resale Certificate. A retail license is required for retail sellers; a business making only wholesale sales may not need one. South Carolina also accepts the multistate uniform certificate in place of its ST-8A form if it contains the same information. Wholesale accounts for goods for online resale typically ask for proof of a seller's permit first; with it, inventory bought for resale is purchased without sales tax.
Tip: Know how each marketplace handles sales tax; some collect it for you and some leave that to you.
