Is it legal to buy a product from an online store and resell it at your own shop?

Yes, as long as the CD you originally purchased isn't burned or otherwise duplicated illegally. If the CD you purchased is totally legal, you can resell it however you like. (As long as you don't burn a copy of it).

If you are thinking of buying for your own use and would like to have new and not obsolete technology, then it is a good idea to buy in a shop. If you are thinking about dropshipping, it's a scam. Most wholesalers are not actually wholesalers. Look at the price and you'll know it directly. And never believe the retail recommended price (RRP) shown by wholesalers. They are far too high to be realistic. In fact, I can buy computer accessories and electronics at price much more lower than any of the discounted prices shown by wholesalers. These are not counterfeits. They have warranty, and everything in it, support etc. To sum up, there are actually no wholesalers selling recent or new products. The real wholesalers only sell old or obsolete stuff, and in some extent, refurbished newer products (but they always claim no warranty, not refundable, accept as is, etc). So, it's not worth it.

It's not so much inherently illegal as it may be fraudulent business practices as applied.\n\nYour state attorney general is one option. The Federal Trade Commission is another. Outside the US, seek similar authorities.

its especially illegal if you bought whatever they were advertising.. it constitutes fraud.. some stores do have a policy that they "reserve the right to replace items with a product of another brand of eqaul or better quality".. if thats not the case.. then its fraud..\n\nive ordered some computer chips online.. and they werent the brand i ordered. but they seem to work just fine..

No unless you already have some things you can sell on EBay.\nThere are a lot of people like you around and they often get taken advantage of by hustlers.\nA legitimate online business has start up costs unless you become an affiliate. But you do need to know how to do search engine optimization and make web pages for that. I actually made a great deal of money as an affiliate but put a lot of time and effort into making web pages.

Will you be selling online or will you be selling from a shop? \nDo you need a list of wholesale suppliers or will you be selling your own stuff? You need to be a bit more specific. Good luck.

In General,  it  is unlawful for any person, to  carry on any business, trade, profession, calling, occupation or gainful activity without a Wholesale License  if the business buys to resell or sells wholesale or retail taxable services or tangible items.    A     Wholesale License   is the same as Seller's Permit or Reseller's Permit.  Example, you sell computers or clothing online or online or on eBay in California... you need a Wholesale / Retail License  to buy wholesale tax free.  When you sell at the retail level, you charge taxes (collect taxes) to pay to government later. \n\nWholesale licenses include the following:\n\nWholesale License\nThis wholesale license permits the holder to sell to retailers anywhere in the United States without charging taxes.\n\nRetail License\nThis Retail license permits the holder to buy tax free from wholesalers, and sell to customers in the state charging taxes.\n\nYou also need a Wholesale License  if the services you provide are taxable to the public.

Of course you can. Take it back and ask for a replacement or a refund. In Britain all sales are bound under 'The Sale Of Goods Act' which stipulates that anything sold must be fit for the purpose for which it is bought. If not then a mandatory refund must be given either by way of giving back the money paid or providing a replacement that fulfills the need. Don't know which country you're in but most have pretty similar legislation.

Sure, why not.  I presume you will be selling the same merchandise.  Incorporate and run everything through the corp. If you're ebay id hasn't already been incorporated, you can even incorporate under that name.

if you have a product that you can own cheap and sell to willing customers

Yes you can but there are somethings you need to be aware of...you need to read any small disclaimers on the commercals and listen to the wording becaseu some false claims can really turn out not to be false by the wording they use...just misleading to the public who views it only in passing and dosen't take in all the information like the small print...so I'd get a consult and make sure you had a case before you did anything

no, only if you sell it it is illegal, otherwise your fine.

I've seen them sold online before.\n\nThey are dangerous but their not really weapons,so I don't see why you can't.

it's not breaking the law.\n\nit's kind-of well understood that different types of folks visit different types of web-sites. And some people buy things from one 'vendor' because the price is 'more', - so it must be better.\n\nThat's like taxing 'idiots' - and I'm all for that. And if the company get make more money of person 'A', then the can make less money on person 'B'.\n\nWhat the market will bear, - is my motto. And besides, they're not descriminating on age, gender, race, etc.

It might be worth enquiring at the shop you bought it from.  Obviously you wouldn't get back as much as you paid but they probably could re-sell it
