Is it ok for me to allow customers post their customized toys on our site?
The thing that really worries me is copyright infringement. what if some of the customers post pictures of toys with faces of celebrities?

Get attorney to draft out a TOS to protect yourself. You can't sue the gun manufacturer when a kid shot someone with it can you?

I don't think that analogy is very accurate. A better analogy would be selling fake Prada handbags in your brick-and-mortar store, which means there might be more issues there than before. Still, you're advice to the poster to speak with an attorney is spot on.

Oh Thank you very much.

Anyone know where I can get the most updates tax rates because I need to charge people for sales tax ? BTW, Im in nyc. I searhed Google and it has all kinds of tax rates. There's state tax and city tax, which one do I charge ?

Doesn't it depend on what the toy is in the first place?

I mean, customizable toys, like LEGO and Zoids, you'd sort of expect that to be 100% ok with the companies. After all, they're designed to be customizable if you don't like the instructions in the box.

Or are you talking something more like people doing customized action figures?
