Obtain A Sales Tax Exemption Certificate To Sell Nike Shoes On eBay

You, being a buyer of the good from a wholesaler, for the purpose of resale online can altogether avoid paying sales tax on these goods provided, you have a sales tax exemption certificate. A tax exemption certificate enables you to purchase goods from supplier for the purpose of resale without paying sales tax. It also allows you to collect sales tax from your customers through online sale.


A tax certificate number is the number attached to your exemption certificate. You can get an exemption certificate by applying for IRS to allocate you EIN under your legal entity. An EIN is not required to obtain to get a seller's permit in Wisconsin, if you are doing business under your personal name.

Once you have been given an EIN for your business, you can apply to the department of revenue of your respective state for state tax and exemption certificates. When you get the exemption certificate Form S211 from your state government, it will have your certificate number. You can then give this number to suppliers to buy goods for resale without paying the sales tax for those items.

What is Form S-211?

It is a Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate which is issued by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to claim the exemption from the Wisconsin State.

To whom it may concern, I want to start an online harmonica customizing business. It will be strictly an ecommerce business and I will be customizing harmonicas for customers over the internet and selling harmonicas that I have purchased and customized online in my virtual online store. I will not be conducting business in a brick and mortar store in Nevada. Do I need to purchase a Nevada sales tax number or clearance letter to conduct business in this manner?
