How To Submit Resale Licence To Ebay

I buy both for my collection and to resell. I begrudgingly am willing to pay sales tax for purchases for myself, but now that they are collecting sales tax for my state for all purchases I am having to pay sales tax on purchases that are for resale. I need to set up a second ebay account for buying stuff I want to resell, but I don't know how to submit to them a scan of my resale licence.

I would use the concierge service to talk with a representative to set this up.

About 1/3 down you will see this;




I think you can follow the instructions from there.

I had stopped buying on ebay a few years ago after the return rate reached 60%. So, today, I tried to submit the necessary forms. The process, once the Claiming sales tax exemption window was found in the middle of some other document, was worse than I could have imagined. The instructions were sketchy. The form ebay asked for is seldom used any more, at least in Massachusetts. They failed to mention the blanket form check box. The PDF of the form was too big to upload. Then a smaller PDF, readable by Adobe Acrobat could not be opened by ebay. Another catch-22 was that ebay wants the sales tax registration address to match my mailing address. But it doesn't because the Commonwealth wants the street address, but mail goes to a post office box. At least ebay was prompt kicking back the form a few times. Who knows how long it will take ebay to "verify" the submission that the web site could take a couple of weeks to approve? Will I ever use it? Who knows? Except for being exceedingly polite, the ebay team could have been pulled straight from the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

sounds like so much fun - I will give it a shot this weekend

The good news is that the application was approved overnight.

Just submitted it, submission was simple for me.
