Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Starting my own eBay seller business...

Hi,

I currently sell items on eBay and other venues for friends and family. I am looking to expand my reach and want to start selling for strangers. What do I need to do to protect myself? For example, I would not want getting caught in the middle of selling an item that might have been stolen or anything else.

I have tried to put together a contract based on some examples I have seen other Sellers on eBay use. Also what has to be on my copy of the contract and what has to be on the other person�s contract.

Thanks you for the help and feedback.

You should incorporate. A corporation limits liability.

In terms of language in a contract, the question is too broad to answer in this forum. However, the language on your contract must be the same as the language on the other person's contract.
