Rapid Fire From Youtube about Seller's Permit

 I wish to resell on ebay, and sell to another person who sells on ebay.  I have no idea what the reseller code would be.

If I register my LLC in Wyoming, do I need the reseller certificate only from that state or do I have to register myself in all the states so I can source and sell in other states too?

  • In California, we can check our Department of Tax and Fee Administration for rules

If I do my own personal taxes do I still Apply for a seller permit ?
