    If you are going to get serious on eBay and on your online store then yes you do need your sales tax license.

    First, most major and genuine wholesale distributors will require that you have your resellers license on hand when you sign up and buy from them.

    Second, you will have to start collecting sales tax for sales made within your home state.

    California Sales Tax license. To obtain your sales tax license contact the California State Board of Equalization (800) 400-7115 (state sales tax) Tell them that you want to apply for your state sales tax license to buy and sell products.

    If you're going to take your business serious then do it right. Get your resellers license, (sales tax license).

    Hope this helps.

    In Ca, age doesn't matter. You simply go to the State Board of Equalization, fill out the forms to tell them what type of business you want to start and your projected earnings. They will tell you whether you will need to put down a deposit and how much it is depending on those two pieces of information. Then the issue you a resellers license which enables you to purchase wholesale and without paying taxes until you resell the item. Then you file with them quarterly, semi annually or annually depending on the license you receive and pay the tax. I've had one since I was 12 or 13.
