Member Workshop: Should You Form an LLC or Corporation for Your eBay Busine

Jul 2, 2006 11:33 PM
Topic: Member Workshop: Should You Form an LLC or Corporation for Your eBay Business?

Host: cennico
Date: Monday 07/17
Time: 15:00 - 16:00 PT
Location: Workshop Board

Description: At some point when you're selling on eBay you realize you've got a "real" business on your hands. Should you make it official by forming a corporation, limited liability company (LLC) or other legal entity? Doing so can protect you against legal liability, and help you save on taxes. It can also protect you in the event you are ever audited by the IRS or your state tax authority. In this workshop, popular eBay University instructor Cliff Ennico describes the different ways you can legally organize a business in all 50 states and the advantages and disadvantages of each, with a focus on the "real world" needs of eBay sellers.

RE: post # 105

Don't feel badly -- I've been practicing law for 26 years, and I feel exactly the same way. Thanks to all the thousands of eBay sellers who have taught me how little I really know about this stuff, and have kept me on my toes :). I look forward to getting more education from you this fall at our new and improved "eBay for Business" program (www.ebay.com/university).
