Technically, selling merchandise over the internet to NY residents requires the collection of sales tax if applicable. You are not required to collect sales tax on sales outside of NY.

I would check out the NY State site regarding their rules for sales tax.

You do not need a DBA unless you are using a name other than your individual name. If you are going by a trade name, then you should have it registered. This is usually done with your city/county.
