Common Questions
Do I need a business license?
Depends on your location and what you’re selling. Check your local regulations. Some jurisdictions require business licenses for selling livestock or operating an online business.
How do I handle returns?
You set your own return policy. Most vendors don’t accept returns on live animals due to biosecurity concerns. Equipment and supplies policies vary.
What if a buyer claims DOA (dead on arrival)?
Most vendors require photo proof within 2-4 hours of delivery. You decide your DOA policy—replacement, refund, or store credit. State your policy clearly in listings.
Can I ship internationally?
No, shipping is restricted to the country in which your store resides.
