Question:

At what point should I start worrying about charging sales tax?

I have been selling a few things on ebay over the last couple of months. I have sold. A lot of it is expensive photographic equipment and computers that I have bought from friends, on craigslist and at the swap meet. I have sold ,019.31 over a 2-month period.

Is it time to file with the California Franchise Board yet or should I wait a while longer? Also, do I have to charge sales tax if an item is used?

The following factors, although not all inclusive, may help you to determine whether your activity is an activity engaged in for profit or a hobby:

Does the time and effort put into the activity indicate an intention to make a profit?
Do you depend on income from the activity?
If there are losses, are they due to circumstances beyond your control or did they occur in the start-up phase of the business?
Have you changed methods of operation to improve profitability?
Do you have the knowledge needed to carry on the activity as a successful business?
Have you made a profit in similar activities in the past?
Does the activity make a profit in some years?
Do you expect to make a profit in the future from the appreciation of assets used in the activity?
An activity is presumed for profit if it makes a profit in at least three of the last five tax years, including the current year (or at least two of the last seven years for activities that consist primarily of breeding, showing, training or racing horses).

Question:

How should I prepare a few one time Ebay sales?

It will be mostly textbooks and maybe 10 of them or so. I do Not want to make this an ongoing business of mine. I want it to be as quick and easy on me as I will be preparing for classes myself and want to prepare these sales now. And of course I want to make as much money as I can since this will much of fund my textbook needs as well.

Thanks!

You can price them at http://www.buy-used-textbooks.com/ and then use the description (not copy) of another book and you can not put up a picture to save time although you will probably get less money.

If you can sell them at Half.com though it is much easier.

Question:

How should I say no thank you to a telemarketer who wont stop talking?

I was at the grocery store and my cell phone rings. Its a telemarketer from the same marketing inc that keeps calling me every day. I nicely interuped her teling her I wasnt interested and that I get calls all the time from them. I even asked one telemarketer to please put my number on there no call list. She continued to talk and tell me about there other free products and she sounded so sweet that I didnt want to be rude. In the mean time, I have my two sons with me and Im pushing a heavy cart full of groceries with my youngest in the seat and Im due in 4 weeks with our third boy. The kids are screaming they want things or they are teasing each other and everytime I talk to my kids the lady asks if im still there. So by then Im getting mad. I tell her my situation again and she says sorry and that she has only a couple more free offers and starts reading off my address and how she was sending me magazines now. So I now have to try to get her not to do this etc etc. WHAT DO U DO?
Sorry if I wrote all crazy, I was in a rush and I didnt check my spelling or anything lol.

Question:

what type of training collar should I get?

When I was at dog training today, i used her regular collar, and she slipped out of it a few times. The trainer recommended a brand of training collar starting with a M, and i cant seem to remember the name. It was a flat training collar that has a chain it connects to in the back, that connects to your leash. Anyone know what brand this is or what type of collar i should get?
