Legal Guidelines About Seller's Permits
In general, it is unlawful for any person, to carry on any business, trade, profession, calling, occupation or gainful activity without a seller's permit if the business buys to resell or sells wholesale or retail taxable services or tangible items. A Resale License (same as a sales tax id, wholesale, reseller's or reseller) is the same as a Seller's Permit, Sales Tax Certification, Wholesale License.
Example: you have an online business, computers or clothing online or you are selling online on eBay in California, or any other state and you are wondering whether you need a business license or a seller's permit. If you sell, or lease any taxable items or if you provide any taxable services, you need a sellers permit to buy wholesale tax free. When you sell, you charge taxes (collect taxes) to pay to government later. You also need a seller's permit if the services you provide are taxable to the public.
This is a response to the person who said that if it was illegal, to post information.
This is why wholesmarketer/Doba is not giving you the wholesale prices. Now, they are being the middle man and are giving you access to products that you probably couldn't purchase at a great discount unless you had 100K to drop down. However, this is not a location to use for ebay in my opinion. Im sure that there are people who are doing it. Everything that can be found on their site, EVERYONE has access to.
Do it the right way, get your license and set up drop shipping with a wholesale or distributor of the product you want to sell. It may be a lot of leg work, but it does get a lot more easy if you narrow down what you want to sell on ebay (don't be a walmart, everyone can get everything at walmart, why go to ebay?) Anyway, I purchased a membership from them in January. I thankfully didn't spend 300 dollars for what they wanted and was being a hard sell, and paid $150.00. Im sure if you had hours on end to look at all these products, there are things hidden that you can sell. I have found it to be more easy by going to the mall, researching popular items and contacting a wholesale distributor and going from there and making a profit.
I want more of a profit margin than doba/wholesale marketer wants to give me.
Plus, drop shipping inself, unless you want to keep an identical item on hand, this could leave your ebay feed back in jeopardy.
I am making this as a Buyer beware. Do it on your own!!!
If I was asked to do it again, I wouldn't bother. I would spend the money and set up my own business from square one.
