My local Auditor's office wasn't clear on which license I need to get.

Ohio has - Vendor, Service Vendor, Transient Vendor, and Delivery Vendor.

Vendor is for brick and mortar.
Service is for certain industries.
Transient is for back of your car/booths/etc.
Delivery is for Internet.

I talked with five different offices today and confused them greatly by not knowing the above and calling it a "wholesaler's license," which is a term Ohio doesn't use.
Finally I got one guy to tell me that if I was planning on selling online and out of a booth I would need two licenses - Delivery and Transient.

That's 25$ each. To register with wholesalers in the first place I need only one number. Should I really be buying two numbers or wait until I get to the point where I even have a booth to get the Transient to cut down on the confusion?

If you're in Ohio do you think you are following all the differences correctly?

Also, if you apply for the Delivery Vendor's License - don't bring the application to your county Auditor's office, it can only go through the mail or through the internet.
I hope this saves just one person some hassles. Maybe everyone else reads all the fine print unlike me.
