Starting Amazon/Etsy
 

I am buying the Amazon ghost book tonight and will be using eBay stealth tactics for creating Etsy account.

A couple noob questions;

1) On paypal, you aren't required to add an EIN until you are projected to hit the 200/20k limit or open a business account.. on Amazon/Etsy are you required to have an EIN right away?

2) I'm completely new to taxes and my 2015 sales will be the first time I'm filing. Can I use the same EIN as "online ecommerce business" and connect it to all 3 ecommerce sites? eBay, Amazon, Etsy.

Any extra advice would be cool

Yes Amazon doesn't play around its EIN or SSN or SOL.

Im pretty confident you do not need separate EIN for each account. But CPA is your best avenue with that!

Et.sy doesn't need anything. All you have to worry about is PP unless you are going to use direct checkout in which they will need to verify your identity. But, since this is ste.alth, I assume you aren't doing that.
