Do I need a license to sell sex toys online from web site from home?

Nope, we have built a few of these home business sex toy shops, the only thing you might want to consider is your payment provider, as Paypal can get a bit funny about what type of product you sell

Too true, I asked them ...but they had a boner to pick with me.

Could the answer to this question is a man of who owns this web site and has experience in this business?

No, a lot of our merchants sell sex toys from their homes.

You don't need a license to trade sex toys on your website.

In a previous life I worked in the online team at Ann Summers. Yes, it every guy's dream and my interview took place in a room surrounded by dildos!!! Rather amusing!

Anyways, there is a huge market for this type of thing because it is the 'ultimate online product' as people are too embarrassed to buy it on the street. However, all fun aside, it is a very competitive market which has tons of players with great sites. The likes of Love Honey and Ann Summers have dominated for years. Therefore, you need to make sure you site stands out from the rest rather than just selling the same products everyone else is selling in the same way.

Be unique and produce unique content. Explainer videos are a great way to drive traffic and conversions. You may be embarrassed to begin with but eventually it's the same as any other business - shifting boxes!

It also happens to have a staggering mark-up, if you buy direct.

Hahaa! You must have felt like your hands were tied!

No license required.

Not as much of a problem with a merchants today as it used to be, either.
