Hey guys I finally have a solid idea of what I am going to be doing. My product are being produced now.

- I plan to sell on eBay until I have completed my website.
- Once I build my website I will put banner ads on forums (I know the community well)
- See how it goes

My biggest question is if I keep selling without a business entity. Are there any consequences? Or should I go get a single member LLC first then build my website? I am selling the product solely online and it is being produced in my home. I think single member LLC is my best option unless anyone has any other recommendations. This is going to be my first business
