Permit guide
Do I need a seller's permit to buy wholesale trading cards?
Yes. We sell wholesale only to businesses that resell, so we ask every applicant for their state's seller's permit or resale certificate. Here is which document to upload, and the mistakes that get applications sent back.
California: Seller's Permit
Download or print it from your CDTFA online services account, or use the permit certificate CDTFA mailed you. It should show your business name, your seller's permit number (SR) and the issue date.
Florida: Annual Resale Certificate for Sales Tax
Print the current one from your Florida Department of Revenue online account. The page with your Certificate of Registration is fine as long as the Annual Resale Certificate is on it. It should show your business name, your certificate number and the year it is valid through.
Texas: Texas Sales and Use Tax Permit
Download it from your Texas Comptroller online account, or use the permit the Comptroller mailed you. It should show your business name, your 11-digit taxpayer number and the permit date.
New York: Certificate of Authority
Download it from your New York Department of Taxation online account, or use the copy mailed to you. It should show your business name and your Certificate of Authority number.
Other states
Upload your state's seller's permit (sales tax permit or resale certificate). Download or print it from your state tax agency's online account, or use the copy they mailed you. It should show your business name, the permit number and that it is currently valid.
What we can't accept
A screenshot of your online tax account page. A registration confirmation or letter that is not the permit itself. A small, blurry or cropped photo. A PDF is best, or a clear full-page photo..
How it works
- Find the right document for your state (see above). It is issued by your state tax agency.
- Apply online and upload a PDF or a clear, full-page photo of the actual permit. Type the permit number as it is printed.
- Sign the electronic resale certificate once. A person reviews your application, usually within one business day.
- Once approved, see the full catalog and wholesale pricing and order from your phone. No minimum order.
- Japanese and Chinese orders close each Sunday at 8:00 PM Pacific. We confirm, email your invoice, and orders take about two weeks with tracking.
- Pay the invoice by card or bank transfer. No sales tax with a resale certificate on file.
Common questions
Do I need a seller's permit to buy wholesale trading cards?
Yes. We sell only to businesses that resell. You upload your seller's or reseller permit when you apply and sign an electronic resale certificate once. Because the product is for resale, we don't charge sales tax on your orders.
What is the difference between a seller's permit and a business license?
A seller's permit (called a resale certificate, sales tax permit or certificate of authority in some states) comes from your state tax agency and lets you buy product for resale without paying sales tax. A general business license is a different document. We ask for the tax permit.
What if I don't have a seller's permit yet?
You can apply for one through your state tax agency. Requirements and timing vary by state, and we can't give tax advice, so check with your state agency or an accountant. Once you have it, you can apply with us.
Why was my application sent back?
Most often the document was missing or the wrong one: a screenshot of an online account page, a registration letter instead of the permit itself, or a small, blurry or cropped photo. A PDF or a clear full-page photo of the actual permit fixes it, and you can resubmit from your account.
Is there a minimum order?
No. There is no order minimum and you can buy a single box. If you want a full opening order, our $1,000 and $2,000 starter bundles are priced below buying the same products separately.
How do I pay?
After we confirm your order, we email an invoice you can pay by card or by bank transfer (ACH), due within seven days. Processing fees are shown before you place the order.
Ready to apply?
Have your permit ready as a PDF or a clear photo, and the application takes about two minutes. This page is general information, not tax or legal advice.
