Amazon FBA reseller/business licenses in NY

[AllMyNames]

Hi everyone. I'm trying to start out doing Amazon FBA selling in New York State and i'm stuck on one part of it for now.

I want to apply to wholesellers/distributors so that I can order products and get ungated in different categories and brands. However, i've heard that you need to have a Resale Certificate and a Business Certificate, specific to being a retailer/reseller, in order for these businesses to do business with you.

I've also applied for a license and created a separate service-based business that I never followed up on, but received a Certificate of Authority to collect Sales Tax on.

Do i need to apply for another business license specific for being a retailer/reseller AND a Resale Certificate? Or can I use what I already have (from my other business license and COA) to try to apply to wholesellers/distributors?

The NY sales tax agency is the place to ask those questions, not strangers on the internet.

Wait, how is this spam? I'm asking the question legitimately.

No, Quincy was not referring to you or your post. He is referring to a spammer that was reported. He bumped up your thread so the spam thread would not show on the main forums list.

I am sorry I confused you with my post. I bumped your thread so it would get more attention than the spam thread.

You can seek help with your business licensing through the New York government business website. Here is just one link providing access to the site:

Oh, ok. I wasn't sure if you meant the whole post or just the one above, or what the spam meant.

Again, I am sorry for the confusion.
