https://community.qvc.com/t5/Fashion/Questions-for-any-Etsy-Ebay-sellers-in-PA/m-p/382134#M29162 <P>Hi ladies,</P> <P>I wondered if any of you run a small online businesses in Pennsylvania - whether on Etsy or Ebay. I would like to open an Etsy shop. I live in PA. Do I need to register my shop as a business? I wasn't sure of what exactly I needed to do before selling anything. I have a binder full of information from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue that I found online.<BR /> <BR /> I've read about registering your business name and applying for a license? I've read about sole proprietorships and registering a fictitious business name or something along those lines. I've heard others say I don't need to do anything until I sell a certain quota. I feel like I am going in circles as I'm not sure what exactly applies to me. I simply want to open an Etsy shop and sell vintage clothing.<BR /> <BR /> Can anyone help me out with the process? I do know that I would have to charge sales tax to PA buyers, so that is a start. I wasn't sure if I have to go my local tax office or small business association in person before doing anything further?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks in advance for your help ladies!!!!! </P> <P>azureblue</P> Mon, 18 Nov 2013 23:53:28 GMT azureblue 2013-11-18T23:53:28Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Fashion/Questions-for-any-Etsy-Ebay-sellers-in-PA/m-p/382134#M29162 <P>Hi ladies,</P> <P>I wondered if any of you run a small online businesses in Pennsylvania - whether on Etsy or Ebay.
