    No you would not need a license, however you would not truly be getting "Wholesale" prices without a valid resell number/ tax number. Also if you plan on selling on Ebay you will have to report your sales to the IRS, otherwise you are cheating the government, and this is illegal.

    Wholesale Items are meant for re-use or resale. the point of wholesale is to bypass the packaging and prettiness of retail to help another business buy and use or sell a retail product. The reduction of packaging and marketing allows a reduced cost. As for the license you may want to check with your local government chamber of commerce. And as for the feds you just have to remember to pay your taxes on time and they will be fine with it.
