Chinyere told us: “I am a student and I have a website. I will buy human hair wholesale and sell it on eBay or my website to customers in Florida or all 50 states, from my home.”
Hi Chinyere, being a student changes nothing: selling human hair online from home in Florida requires the sales tax Certificate of Registration. With it, wholesalers will accept your Annual Resale Certificate (Form DR-13), so hair bought for resale is tax-free. Other states may add their own rules once you pass their thresholds. Register Beautifull Hair as a DBA or LLC.
Short answer: Wholesale License To Sell Hair In Florida: Florida doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the sales tax Certificate of Registration, backed by an Annual Resale Certificate (Form DR-13).
The Florida version of the seller's permit is the sales tax Certificate of Registration. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is an Annual Resale Certificate (Form DR-13). Florida's resale exemption works only for active registered dealers, and inactive wholesalers must reactivate registration to receive an Annual Resale Certificate. Florida mails registered dealers a new Annual Resale Certificate each year; sellers can also verify a buyer's certificate number with the state.

Short answer: Starting Online Business In PA: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
Pennsylvania calls its seller's permit the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate. Not a sales tax license. A business selling only to resellers applies for a wholesaler certificate instead; it cannot hold both. Pennsylvania issues a separate wholesaler certificate to businesses that sell only for resale; any retail selling requires the sales tax license instead. An online seller buys products with a resale certificate so there is no sales tax on stock, then collects tax from customers in the states where it's required.
Tip: Know which states you sell into; sales tax follows the customer, not your couch.
