        Answer: According to What GA sales tax law, you will need a seller's permit AKA sales tax ID to sell merchandise for your Online Selling.

To buy  Merchandise and  accessories  wholesale, you need a sales tax id also called a seller's permit.

The way that works is after you get the seller's permit, you use the resale certificate that comes with the permit to fax or email  a signed copy to the wholesaler, and then you can buy wholesale.

Then you need the permit number so you can remit the sales tax you collect from your sales on Amazon and eBay.  You also need additional licenses to run your online business.

So you need at least a DBA, LLC or corporation, the seller's permit for that and as a business, a business license and an EIN.

If you hire people to help you, you need to open an employer withholding account and that requires a state employer ID as well as a federal tax ID to pay withholding taxes for your employees.
