fee is $23 to file and $50+ to publish in newspaper for four weeks.

CA State Board of Equalization permit required to sell any tangible
goods (so you can collect sales tax)

If you incorporated, then there is a whole other set of stuff you need to get. But since I'm not incorporating right now, I'm saving that legal fun for later.
