Selling Items Via Consignment On Website

Hi have a blog and wanted to launch a store on the website.  I would be selling baseball cards.

 

Some of the cards I own but I also want to entertain the ability to sell on consignment.

 

One person I might be dealing with has some high priced items, but I would not take inventory.  He would ship the items.

 

I'm just trying to plan it out in order to make sure I don't overlook anything.

 

I live in Massachusetts.  How would I handle any sales on my site (likely via Shopify).  Do I need to charg sales tax to Mass residents?

 

I believe Shopify issues a 1099 on any credit card transactions--so how do i handle that for my tax purposes, since I would only be earning a small amount of the proceeds of the sale?

 

Do i need to issue anything to the consignor?

 

Thanks!
