E-Commerce Problems. US Business Setup.

[Whiphsh]

I've been looking into various business ideas lately (My joining date... I still haven't done anything besides losing 300$. I'm disappointed in myself :bgh

I really like the idea of e-commerce. I have a very limited budget so I thought I would start with dropshipping and move on to FBA with the stores that succeed.

However, as much as I've been researching this, I realized that dropshippers will probably not want to deal with someone without a business entity.

I'm from Eastern Europe and I could very likely succeed in creating a business here, but the market here is very small unless I plan to go international (which is not something I'm even thinking about at the moment).

+ VAT and whatever other importing duties will kill my profits if I import from Asia.

So I figured I could enter the US market...

Not so fast. I found out that I'll need a US Bank account, US Merchant account, business entity and tax ID.

Are all these truly necessary? There are some people who set these things for you, but the prices are ''huge'', I think the last one I saw was charged 1k for all this.

So I'm left with basically 3 options:

1. Do it locally (in a country with barely 3 million people, really?).
2. Find a business partner from US.
3. Do something else.

There are more options of course, but I don't even have the basics... I need to learn to walk before running.

Does anyone have any experience with anything related to this?

Would love to hear your thoughts
