[Hidden-tech] using a DBA or business name to sell on Amazon

[Rich@tnr]

I've been selling for a number of years under my product name of Dia de 
los Muertos Tarot
and then the trademarked (registered) name - TarotMuertos - (you can 
look it up)
More recently they got sticky about company name and that is under legal 
entity of TNR Global which is a 20-so years old LLC

It's hard for me to see those book details you pointed at since I 
already have an account and that's where it sends me.

One item that might be helpful is to create a town DBA,  and regjster 
with the state/Fed to get an EIN,
then you have an ID separate from your SSN, and open the checking acct 
using that.
As I recall, you register with the State and they issue a EIN that is 
also recorded federally.

What I've looked into about Trusts requires a lot more effort and setup 
- you might just look into a state non-profit
It's cheaper than a federal 501c3 non-profit.

On the other hand, depending on what you are selling and how much - 
might not be worth the effort.
and just go ahead and sell as an individual, donate the returns and 
deduct them.
