I recently purchased the licenses to 6 online stores, fully equipped with credit card processors, shopping carts, and merchant accounts. I have already found a product I wish to sell using the first of my 6 websites. However, the distributor needs an EIN before I enter into business with them. What all do I need to get to conduct business legally from my home over the internet? I will be particpating mostly in dropshipping and I am located in Michigan. Is it necessary to form a business and register a DBA?

Or do I have to re-direct customers to paypal to pay for my service?

Is there a price difference in what I pay to paypal for the different ways I can set this up?
