Darci, check with the Small Business Administration in your state for rules regarding online tax obligations.

Similar to ebay, many online consignment shops require members to be responsible for shipping the item to the buyer.

Review a few books about starting an online business for other considerations. [http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Online-Business-Dummies-Computer/dp/0470107391/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221517380&sr =8-1 Online Businesses, etc]
