    friend suggested selling on Amazon/ eBay. I have never done it before

    1) do I need LLC to sell on those sites?

    2) how do you charge shipping ? Should I open business account for fed ex/ups or do local post office ?

    3) do the companies collect sales tax or do I collect and pay state ?


    As a new seller I imagine I can’t be prime - don’t even know how that works



    appreciate any help / information to get starrted

    I've only sold as an individual on eBay just selling random items here and there. What makes that very difficult to profit are the eBay and PP fees. They are around 10% plus PayPal fees are another 2.something. I would imagine if you opened up an eBay store the rate would be lower, but I never looked that far into it. I thought about doing an eBay store years back but I figured I'd have to sell alot of volume in order to offset fees.

    For shipping, when you create a list on eBay it will calculate shipping costs for you based on what you input into the listing.
