Should you form an LLC or Incorporate your eBay Business?
eBay is offering a workshop to help you decide whether incorporating or forming an LLC is a good idea for your small or home based business.

Should You Form an LLC or Corporation for Your eBay Business?
This workshop will be held on Monday, July 17th from 15:00 PT to 16:00 PT. 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.

When deciding whether to form an llc or corporation for your ebay business, you should look at what type of product you are selling. A main reason to form an llc will be to limit your liability and reduce taxes. So before you file, make sure to contact an accountant, and try to get an impartial understanding about your risks in selling your product.

I filed my business at Incoporate Online. They were able to complete the filing in a couple of weeks and everything went smoothly.

I am a powerseller on Ebay and incorporated last year. the benefits are awesome, here are some reason why I incorporated.

•Fringe Benefits In some cases owner-employees may often deduct health insurance premiums paid by the corporation from corporate income. Some Corporate defined plans may offer better retirement options and benefits than those offered by non-corporate plans.

•Personal asset protection. Creditors can't touch your personal assets if you incorporate or form an LLC; only your business bank account, inventory and other business items are at risk.

•Employment taxes. If you are a corporation, you only pay Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes on wages. In contrast, sole proprietors and LLC members pay Social Security and Medicare (self-employment tax) on all business profits, whether or not distributed.

•Audit risk. Statistics show that the IRS examines more returns of sole proprietors than those of corporations and LLCs.

I used a service called http://www.MyLLC.com and they were great, the prices we low,the customer service there is excelent and I was filied pretty fast here in New Jersey.
