Hi Thang, congratulations on Korillatcg! Estate sales, thrift stores, and garage sales can stock your shelves cheaply, so sharp eyes turn into healthy profits. Everything starts with the New York Certificate of Authority, the registration suppliers and market organizers will ask to see. In this answer you will find the business structure, the tax registrations, and the local and industry licenses for Korillatcg, plus a short recap at the end.
Trading cards and collectibles sold to other collectors are taxable in New York, so you will need a New York certificate of authority, and with it you can buy inventory from sources that require a resale certificate. Wholesale sales to other dealers are usually made with their certificate on file, which you keep, while face-to-face sales to collectors carry tax at the table. At card shows, many promoters ask to see your certificate too. Because values can be high, keep records of what you paid and sold, and insurance for your stock in transit. A good eye for rare items beats paperwork, but both are required.
By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For an online collectibles shop it is NAICS 453310 (Used Merchandise Stores), 459510 under the 2022 update. With 1 employee planned, you are already creating jobs in Astoria. That makes 6 items on your list.
Tip: Photograph every flaw and describe condition honestly, since accurate listings prevent most marketplace disputes.

907 Pop's & More is off to a smart start by getting the paperwork right first. Nostalgia sells, and collectors hunting for that one missing DVD or plush toy will happily pay for the find and come back for more. The Alaska sales tax permit (seller's permit) comes first here, because it is what lets you collect sales tax and buy inventory wholesale. Below we walk through the three things every new business in Alaska sorts out (structure, tax IDs, and licenses) and then sum it all up.
Alaska has no statewide sales tax, so there is no state seller's permit to get, and Mercari and eBay sales do not require you to collect Alaska sales tax. Some Alaska communities levy their own local sales taxes, so ask where you operate whether one applies. Alaska does require a business license for most businesses, so that is the real first step, and registering 907 Pop's & More as a trade name fits alongside it. Selling on your own website to buyers in other states can create duties there once you pass each state's threshold, so keep orders by destination. Collectibles like these move quickly when photographed well.

Here's How to Get Your NY Seller's Permit and Other permits and Registrations You May Need.
NY Seller's Permit, LLC, DBA, Licenses & Tax IDs Requirements:
Start with a Connecticut sales and use tax permit. A thrift and consignment shop sells taxable goods to the public, so you must collect sales tax, and consigned items count as your sales too.
• Trade name: a DBA if you operate under a shop name as a sole proprietor, though an LLC would separate the shop's debts from your own. • EIN: useful for banking and required once you hire anyone. • Local business license and zoning approval for the Bridgeport storefront, plus any certificate of occupancy for the space. • Written consignment agreements with each seller, spelling out the split and the holding period. • Employer accounts for unemployment and withholding if you add staff.
Secondhand dealer rules sometimes apply to jewelry or electronics, so ask us before stocking those.
In Mississippi you would register for a sales tax permit. That registration is what lets you hand wholesalers a resale certificate, so you buy inventory without paying sales tax on it, and it also obliges you to collect tax on sales to Mississippi customers.
As a sole proprietor you can run under your own name, or file a DBA if you want a brand name on your website and invoices. Many wholesalers also ask for an EIN, which keeps your Social Security number off paperwork. Check whether your town wants a local privilege or business license even for a home-based online shop. If you will sell into other states in volume, you may owe sales tax registration there too. An LLC is optional but worth considering once sales grow, and we can file every piece of this for you.
Your cosmetology license covers the services you perform, but selling products is a separate matter. In Ohio you need a vendor's license, since you will be collecting sales tax on every bottle and tool sold to a client.
That same vendor's license lets you buy product from distributors using a resale certificate, so you stop paying tax at the wholesale counter. If you work from a salon booth, ask the owner whether sales run through their register or yours, because that decides whose license is used. Add an EIN, and an LLC or DBA if you want a brand name on your invoices. Your contractor license does not figure into retail, so unless you sell in a store you lease, a local business license is the only other piece. We can file the vendor's license and EIN for you.
