    So I've decided to venture into the world of online dropshipping but i have a few questions about the government side of the whole thing. Im hoping that someone who has experience with it can help me out:

    1. Do you have to get a business license in your home state or could you have it somewhere else, as with an LLC?

    2. Will wholesalers need a business license, or will they be satisfied with a sales tax number?

    3. I understand that tax laws change with the state, but could anyone give me a general idea of when sales tax would be applied to an item?

    4. What is your general experience with dropshipping? Were you successful and could you make it into a full time business?

    Thanks in advance
