Create Business Entity (LLC etc) before starting sell on Amazon?

[EsJay]

Hi All,

I am interested in starting an e-commerce business and currently doing all the reading and learning I could do. I think I understand the basic concepts and challenges etc, what I could not find is, do I need to setup a legal business entity (say LLC etc) and do import and selling against company name or I can do all of it as an individual.

If LLC formation etc is not required, are there any advantages doing this activity against company rather than as individual? and Is there a threshold where I should consider forming a business entity?
