Do you have a resale certificate in your state? Are you reselling the tools?
Illinois businesses may purchase items tax free to resell. Sales tax is then collected and paid when the items are sold at retail. To document tax-exempt purchases of such items, retailers must keep in their books and records a certificate of resale. Purchasers may either document their tax-exempt purchases by completing Form CRT-61, Certificate of Resale, or by making their own certificate. A copy of the certificate must be provided to the retailer. Certificates of Resale should be updated at least every three years.
Per ebay: If you are a tax-exempt buyer, we have a buyer exemption system that allows you to submit sales tax exemption certificates to eBay and make purchases without paying sales tax.
