12 Legal Questions You Need To Answer To Start An Ebay Business:

There are at least twelve legal questions that you need to answer to start an Ebay business. You may find it curious that I said that you need to answer them. Why don't I just give you the answers? That would be nicer of me.

However, I can't do that for you because the answers would be different for most of you. You see many of these legal issues are regulated by your local government. So the answers for someone in Mississippi might be entirely different for someone in New York.

But the questions are pretty much the same for you all. Here are twelve questions that you need to research to find the answers to start an Ebay business legally:

1. Do I have to get a business license to start an Ebay business?

2. Do I have to report my Ebay earnings to the IRS?

3. Do I have to keep records of my sales and purchases?

4. What kind of deductions can I claim if I start an Ebay business?
