Dropshipping question

[OscarMike]

Hi guys, in order to dropship items from AliExpress to a customer, what information do I need to supply AliExpress as the online business? I read that you need to have a business license in order to dropship online. But when I added one of the items to my cart in AliExpress, no license was asked for. Just shipping address and payment method (PayPal).

Can you please help?

Thanks

You can legally do business as a person using your real name.
If you use an assumed name dba: abc company or abcawwd.com you need to file a business name with your county or incorporate in your domicile state a legal person/entity i.e.; abd, Inc or Abd, LLC etc.
Above is in the USA other jurisdictions will vary.

You may need a VAT# and are responsible for collecting and remitting VAT tax in the EU to the buyer's jurisdiction.
You may need to collect state sales tax for that buyer's jurisdiction in the US.
There are sales volume threshold that will vary by jurisdiction.
