I’m wanting to sell on e-bay, but all suppliers want a Reseller Number , Fed ID number. What are these? Do they cost?
Answer: The Employer Identification Number (EIN) or federal tax identification number is easy to get. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.
Sales tax is an excise tax imposed on the sale of goods and certain services. Check with your state’s Department of Revenue (or however this agency is called in your state) and check their procedures for getting this number for your business, If you are in South Carolina, this is their form for applying for resale certificate http://www.sctax.org/NR/rdonlyres/B07F32FC-0289-49E6-ABC2-DC1D33AE624C/0/ST8a.pdf#search=%22SALES%20TAX%20RESALE%20SOUTH%20CAROLINA%22
