    "No license to resell general merchandise in most places, with exceptions worth checking: some jurisdictions regulate secondhand dealers (registration, records, hold periods), some categories are restricted or unwise to resell (recalled products, certain cosmetics and food items), and some brands are gated on Amazon regardless of where you bought the stock. Flipping profit is taxable income everywhere, and marketplaces now report seller totals to tax authorities in many countries. Never resell a recalled product; the engine can check."
