Selling on Ebay requires first and formost a selection of a business tax entity type. This is because all businesses must select it for tax reasons. For example, partners are taxed differently than LLCs. With that in mind, here are the major tax entity type structures. A sole proprietorship, a partnership, an LLC, and a corporation. Choose one of these and you are on the road to getting the rest of the required Ebay tax ids and permits with the first being a sellers permit which is also called a sales tax id number. The government wants you to get a sales tax id to collect taxes for them.
A sellers permit will enable you to buy wholesale items that you will sell with your Ebay , business sell it or even sell it at the retail level. It also lets you pay the sales tax you collect to the state government. The sales tax are paid quarterly, semi annually or annually.
So e.g., anything you sell on Ebay such as a jewelry for $60, you need to charge 8% tax.
So you charge $64.80. You keep the $60 and you pay the government the $4.80. Furthermore, you will need to get an Ebay general business license simply because all businesses need to get one of these and it is also called an occupational license or a business tax registration.
In addition, if you get any help selling on Ebay Home Business, you will need both a federal ID and a State Employer Identification Number because you will need to pay employment taxes. As you know, social security taxes are paid thru to the federal government who needs you to obtain the federal tax id.
For example, you hire Maria and Jose as Ebay sales employees.
You need to pay them the hourly wage plus their employment taxes.
They pay half and you pay the other half as their employer. They pay half and you pay the other half as their employer.
