How do I sell stuff online?

I am from Maharashtra and I want to sell cloths and other stuff with online merchant like snapdeal, ebay etc.. I want to know what are the license, documentation required to sell online products. How the LBT or other taxes are applicable. Is it possible to sell stuff from home?

  • Answer:

    Hello ! I assume that you have inventory of the products which you wish to sell, or you can source very easily. The steps to get started as soon as possible are follows-: 1. Send email to all the online merchants with whom you wish to associate and register with them. Almost all of them have a simple online form. They would contact you for further details and then will instruct you , how to get started. 2. You can just start as a Sole Proprietorship firm, for which you do not require any legality to be done. You just need a couple of rubber stamps, one round sela of the name of your firm and one address stamp of your company. Get started, start getting customers orders, start shipping them as per the terms with your online partner. Worry about how to get best products at best prices and garner as many customer as possible. Once the business gets going, then worry about all the stuff you mentioned above. God forbid, if this business does not work, then you would not need to spend time fixing the worries you mentioned above. So just start the business. If you wish any further help or info, just message me. I would help you without any consideration, either in cash or kind, as a fellow entrepreneur. All the best ! Cheers ! PS: I am also from Maharashtra
