Do I need authorization to sell things on Taobao?

Required.

According to Article 10 of the E-Commerce Law, sellers are indeed required to apply for a business license. However, the following exceptions are also provided, that is, a business license is not required:

1. Sellers of sporadic small-amount trading activities;

2. Selling self-produced agricultural and sideline products and Household handicrafts;

3. Use personal skills to carry out common labor activities. The E-Commerce Law does not clearly stipulate small-amount charging standards, nor has it issued corresponding implementation details. Therefore, it is unclear which sellers need to apply for a license. Extended information

If you want to specifically purchase a product, you can, but you cannot use the name of the specialty store. Some purchasing agents may wonder if they are purchasing this product, why can’t they use the name of a specialty store? If used improperly, there may be infringement. For example, a sofa store, etc., if the brand name is registered by someone else, it will be an infringement after using it.

There is also a situation where the purchasing agent feels that the goods he purchases are not trademarks of the same category as the branded goods, and there will be no infringement if used. This is not the case. If a "well-known trademark" is used, infringement still exists.

The existence of infringement means that purchasing agents need to be more vigilant and try to avoid such dangers. Of course, you need to find a way to obtain brand authorization. You can apply directly on the Taobao system to see if you are qualified to obtain brand authorization. Generally speaking, as long as you submit qualified qualifications, you have a high chance of obtaining authorization. Before you have officially obtained authorization, please do not use words and pictures related to the brand casually, let alone sell things under someone else’s name.
