Since then I had created my own site with items listed, merchant account and shopping cart setup but now I am thinking about setting up a CORP or LLC in my state of California but wondering about few things, have this action plan:

Business Entity:
1. Incorporate in CA a legit business
2. I don't have a business address since doing it from home which is already on file with our friends at eBay and Paypal ;)
3. Use UPS store or PO BOX as business address???
4. Get a new phone number?
5. Establish real bank account under business name

Machines/IP/Routers:
1. Get a new machine, reset change IP address

Register w/eBay and Paypal
1. Use my new business name and PO BOX address, new phone?:
2. Problem is if I use the same name that my website where I am selling...will eBay somehow link the items I selling on my site to some thinkgs I had sold on eBay and lead to suspensions...? Nothing unique or expensive about items..
3. If asked about proof, what will I have to provide? Personal info or EIN and corp registeration paperwork???

I appreciate any suggestions and corrections...

my other question is, since my new registered address is in another city...when shipping...should I generate a label in paypal THEN travel to that city and mail it from there..or from the same city...it's about 17 miles away.
