Isn't there a form?
Like starting any small business?

In CA you just have to register to get a resale permit. But, if you get into the system two facts apply:

1: You have to file a sales tax return every year or more frequently if the state says to; and

2: You have to track your untaxed buys and remit use tax.

It isn't just a free sales tax pass: if you abuse the exemption and you are caught, you will have trouble.

As this goes nationwide, I'll be interested to see how this affects eBay sales. Seems like a sneaky rollout on eBay's part. At some point buyers will catch on. The question is will they care or will they start factoring it in a la the juice in an AH.

eBay is handling all of the collection and remittance of the sales tax..but, how do they know what is taxed and not taxed in each of these states...my game used jerseys are clothing, and, clothing is not taxed in many states...how do they exclude collection of sales tax for certain items?
I live in a state where clothing is tax free...any game used jerseys I buy, wherever they are from, should not be taxed...

Isn't that just for personal use purchases and not inventory related purchases?
