I want to sell hats online and am trying to figure out all the legal paperwork necessary to not get in trouble :)I am a college student in Santa Cruz, Ca and I want to create an online store to sell hats. Painted or knit hats. I am trying to find out what permits, zoning, licensing is necessary. I would be the only person involved in the business. I would sell them through the store and ship straight to the customer. I called the local zoning dept, but I think they are under the impression that this is a home business with employees and such.A friend told me if you make under x-amount of money, and pay taxes on sales, you don t need any permits or licenses for an online store.Any info (where to look, personal experience) is greatly appreciated.Happy Thanksgiving!

go to www.etsy.com. They are a place for businesses, and all you have to do is pay them small fees to post and a lil on everything you sell. :) very customizable.
