Congrats. What do you sell?

Only tip I might offer is to stay aware of possible upcoming changes to state sales tax rules establishing nexus. Recently Supreme Court ruled that states could force online vendors to collect sales tax even without physical presence in the destination state. There is talk of low sales volume exemptions for especially small vendors.

The item I sold was just some LED lights. I'm still experimenting to see what sells, but from what I see now I should stick to items under $100

In interstate commerce in the US, sales tax is levied based on the destination jurisdiction of the shipment. For example goods sent from AZ to WA, sale falls under WA jurisdiction. In the past, a vendor without nexus (physical presence- warehouse, store location) in that jurisdiction would not have to collect (in our example WA) sales tax. The recent ruling allows states to put rules in place forcing online vendors (even without physical presence) to have to collect tax from customers in that state (and of course remit it to the state). E-commerce had that advantage over local brick and mortar in the past.

So the person selling the product collects the taxes from the customer, then has to pay the state the taxes?

Find niche markets for example I and my former business partner would sell mechanical keys (switches) parts, and m.2 nuts, standard case nuts, diy pc building kits, diy water cooling kits, diy fixing pc solution kits, backplate for graphic cards etc

You need to focus on your product like you are the consumer and why would someone should look for you.

I also suggest you really learn what ever market you want to channel into.

Those ebay fees :picard:
