Please help me start my thrift store online business in my home. I love shopping. I would buy stuff sometime I was not needed. I also make stuff too, like jewelry and sewing- bags and things. I have too much stuff in my house, and was donated them for the tax purpose. I find out it so complicated because paperwork, and the right amount to claim. All the questions and paperwork I have to fill out, I lost my interest to do it. I just thinking, why don’t I have a thrift store online here at my house. Everything I got are brand new or great condition because they has been accumulated through the years and still buying. I wonder if shopping is my joyful hobby, I should turn it to money. Please give me all the advice I need to know. How to start this business step by step, and very simple to read and understand. What is the best to send them to people and all the tips. So far I already open a separate bank account for online only. What out I have to do next? What kind of tax I have to pay?

I love your idea. I hve no experience in this area,but did see a book ,called, "Ebay for Dummies." It might be helpful to you.
Also,local community classes often have noncredit classes about starting a home business, Call your local community college.

Find a local consignment store in your area and have them sell your items .
Thrift store online Not really a good idea because ,
Shipping costs alone would make the purchase silly .
People buy at thrift for a bargain price and do NOT have to pay shipping !
For that much $$$ , we can go to a regular store and buy just what we want New & not something we can't see and have to take someones word for .
Especially because some peoples taste in fashion really sucks ,
We like to see what we are getting Before we buy
And NOT pay shipping on 2nd hand stuff .

Hello,
You need to sign up where you live with the tax department and they will give you a booklet that explains your tax liability.
I suggest you open an ebay account and sell...sell...sell!
Warm Regards,
