Does anyone know how to start an online adult toy store?

Answer 1

First, you need to find a webhost. Many hosting services, such as estore.com do not allow adult material. Once you find a hosting service that will allow the sale of adult material, you need to check with your local government to make sure that operating an adult store is legal in your area, just as if you were opening a physical location. You may need a business license, depending on how much you plan to make and your local regulations. Then you need to find a supplier to purchase the items from. Once you register with your state sales tax department, you can use your Federal Tax ID number (free at www.irs.gov) and state sales tax ID number to purchase items from a distributor. Look for distributors that offer "drop-shipment" direct to customers. This allows you to receive payments for orders through your website, turn around and pay the distributor, who then ships the product directly to the customer, many times with your name on the box. This way, you never have to deal with inventory. If you cannot find a distributor that offers drop shipments, you may want to consider keeping only a small quantity of each item in stock. Don't forget to advertise your site. Even the best laid out web site brings in no money if nobody knows about it.

Answer 2

You can use a distributor/wholesaler that synch your stock with their 5000+ of products! There might be a small management free of less than $50 per month for the website and everything else you need. The margin on adult toys are high, so you will be okay. In the USA, there are fantastic websites that drop shipped. I can give you specific if you would like?

Answer 3

there might be a legal issue to explore here--i think sex toys are illegal in some (red) states. you don't want to get put away for sending that stuff across state lines
