I have 2 questions:
When I go with me...Hi Johnny, <br /><br />I have 2 questions:<br />When I go with method 1, is it easy to transfer to money to my home country? Do i have to pay taxes in both country or only in the states? <br />If I go with method 2 and pay my taxes in Germany can I still do all the shipping from my suppliers to the United States and only change my shipping in for example Shopify? Do i have to pay taxes in the states too? <br />I’m always not sure how it works when money goes from one country to another. <br />I just wanna do everything right. My online store is almost good to go, but now is the question if I better do it in my home country or in the United States. I just don’t want this high fees to pay when I send it from the states to Germany. I also heard when i’m living in the states, i’m Not allowed to open an online store without an visa. That’s why i’m Always wondering how it works with anybody else who doesn’t live in the states. <br />Thank you so much for reading <br />Thank you <br />Jenny Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855007101755121892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-26349299901661744142019-06-24T16:33:22.229-07:002019-06-24T16:33:22.229-07:00Hi :) I have a question.

It's the same as starting any business in the U.S.<br /><br />There are a ton of steps, but in most courses, or in the member's forums others have done it so it's best to do a search there, or ask there.

For example in the Amazon account that I should set up, do I say I live in the USA or in Africa? I know this might sound like a silly question, but I’m afraid that if I say I live in Africa and dropship to US customers from US suppliers they will see that it is dropshipping because my Amazon account says Africa and that shipping price is impossible. On the other hand, I don’t know if i am allowed to say that I live in the US in my Amazon account when that is not true.<br /><br />I am just starting off, only want to buy and sell a few products and see how that goes as an individual, not as a business. if all goes well then I will obviously consider starting a business and fulfilling all the legal requirements around that. <br /><br />My main concern is how to set up my Amazon account? <br /><br />How does everyone else manage to do this?

I am Canadian, and feel that most Canadians buy from USA eCommerce websites. And if those sites don't ship to Canada, many of us drive to the border to pick up our items. So in short, I feel just marketing to Canadians is a disadvantage, and when comparing Cad prices to USA prices on web sites, the USA sites area often better priced. However, I just discovered all the red tape to deal with and am confused. Any advice? Have you met many Canadians doing this & what they tended to lean towards?

Shipping Costs and Shipping Times from the USA to your country will deter your customers from wanting to order.<br /><br />2. US Suppliers may not want to deal with the few international orders you'll give them because of option 1. <br /><br />If you sell in Australia you'll want Australian suppliers for example.Johnny FDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16606448957561483887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-6039758553833041312015-11-09T20:16:12.984-08:002015-11-09T20:16:12.984-08:00Hi Johnny,

If a person decides to go with option #2 does that mean that they aren't able to sell to US customers? Because that's what I'm understanding from this article or that it's much harder. But if it's a web-based business then you should be able to sell to anyone, anywhere especially since you don't handle physical products. Or is it that American manufacturers are less likely to work with an international company because you don't have an EIN which means looking into local manufacturers?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18241002289261336405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-56028713460391863372015-08-06T03:21:20.637-07:002015-08-06T03:21:20.637-07:00Hey Steve, glad you enjoy the blog.
