eBay State Sales Tax Resale Certificate Number

Purpose of a State Sales Tax Resale Certificate Number: A resale certificate will allow you to legally not pay sales tax on purchases for resale.

Virtually all states charge sales tax on goods sold within their state. eBay and ecommerce web site sellers need a sales tax number to legally sell goods both inside and outside their home state.

Reasons for obtaining a state sales tax certificate number are listed below.

• The law requires a State Sales Tax Certificate Number. If you sell goods on eBay or the internet and ship them to someone in the state you reside, then you must collect sales tax from the buyer and pay the collected tax to your state on a monthly or quarterly basis. If you sell less than $4 million in annual sales, you do not have to collect or pay sales tax on out-of-state sales.
  • State Sales Tax Resale Certificate Number Example: If you live in Virginia and you sell something to someone else in Virginia or to someone out-of-state that asks you to ship it to someone in Virginia, then you need to collect and pay sales tax to the State of VA. But, if you sell the same item to someone in Florida, you need not charge sales tax.
