of course its a small business and its a great way to let people know about it, and if your town has its ownwebsite see if you can have your website placed on it for some good advertising.

I thought I had to have a license to sell my stuff? QUOTE(AmandaB78 @ Sep 18 2005, 01:14 PM) I thought I had to have a license to sell my stuff? Probably only if you rent premises or get so big that you attract attention to yourself. If you maintain a minimal profile, ie: sell mostly on the web, I doubt very much if they would bother you. Have you considered eBay? or other similar sites?
true you only need a business liscense only if you own a store on a property or something like that, if its online then no.
but stay away from ebay and paypal or you will lose money they steal money without letting you know why they did it.

I wish I would have known that yesterday. I dad won rims for his harley on ebay and used paypal to pay. Do you think hes going to get ripped off?
Yes you can sell your own stuff on your own website without anything like a licence I believe. I sell cell Phones online and it really pays well if your advertised correctly.
Good Luck QUOTE(Compute @ Sep 18 2005, 06:02 PM) Yes you can sell your own stuff on your own website without anything like a licence I believe.

It's not illegal to sell your wares online. As long as you don't claim yourself to be a branch of someplace else. Make sure you don't sell in bulk either. Only sell like 1 at a time, or else your hands will be uber full and you'll be so busy.
Don't sell on eBay. Period. eBay isn't reliable in the fact that items sell for different prices each time. You can sell something for 100 bucks, and try selling the same thing again and only get 20. Simple as that. Make your website, sell your product cheap at first, and once you're more well-known, raise the prices a bit. To advertise, give your website to google and other really popular search engines. Put google ads on your site, it'll up your traffic, and you'll get a few bucks from it. Maybe you should show us some pics of what you've made? That'd be awsome! Goodluck in your business!
they have free shopping cart scripts online, so you just sign on and it will tell you what to make and who to sell it to. It's really pretty easy to set up, I'm working on a shop for my site.

And to NovaTerra, In America you can make up to $600 (some state laws are different, but according to fed law) without having to claim it for taxes. Have you ever won like $30 on a scratch off lotto ticket? Did you have to pay taxes? No. But if you have ever won over $600 it was a big deal and normally you have to go down to the state capitol and claim the ticket there so they can make you fill out the paperwork to claim it (same goes for people who win cars on tv gameshows). So the moral of the story is: "If you make under $599 its just a hobby, but over and you are a small buissness owner and therefore considered middle class and must pay your taxes (let alone most everyone elses).

Good Luck Don't you have to pay tax???
I finally made my website and put my jewelry on the page. You guys should check it out and telling me if there is anything I'm doing wrong or could possibly do to get this all started.
I think if you are worried about taxes you are clear as long as you dont make over $600 in a year (jan 1-dec 31) you do not have to claim it. If you make more than that (profit) than you can get a newspaper or phonebook and hire a accountant and with software like quicken and websites like paypal.com you can provide them with plenty of info (if you do most the work all they have to do is look it over, its cheaper) then they can calculate your taxes. I think this is alot to worry about before you see any money, just remember: 2 things are certain in life, death & taxes. and not in that order.

I've recently started making things like jewelry, purses, wallets, painted wooden boxes, picture frames, and clothes. I usually wear my stuff to school and found that people like them. Within a week people were buying them off me. One of my teachers told me I should make a website with all my stuff on it and sell it. I thought that was illegal. Any ideas about this?? no its not illegal in fact many people do do that all you have to do is to find a hostinmg company like www.webspace-empire.com and than build you web site and upload it simple as that
