<prompt> Human: Reformed hoarder here trying to recoup some costs and maybe some extra via ebay. Do I need more than a business license from my town to keep the IRS happy and say I am a business owner legally? I know its a simple question, but I am several squirrels in a trench coat and we confuse easily. But its a nice trench coat and I could probably make some money off it.  <response>: You selling all your old stuff? You dont need a business license if thats the case. The IRS also doesnt care about you selling stuff for less than you originally paid for it.
