I emailed the Board of Equalization a couple years ago when I first started, as I was asked for a seller's permit when I signed up to do a booth... Here is their response:
Hello Joy:
You are not required to obtain a seller's permit, because Pampered Chef (I love their stuff!) holds the permit for all their reps. In fact, you cannot obtain a seller's permit, because of the same reason.
All you need to do, is notify the event operators that you are not required to obtain a seller's permit, and you can cite section 6015 of the Revenue and Taxation Code as your reason. Pampered Chef is what we call a "6015"
retailer (just like Avon, Tupperware, Mary Kay, Amway, etc.). All the operator needs from is a statement that you are not required to have a seller's permit.
Thank you for contacting the Board of Equalization's Information Center.
If you have any questions, please contact us between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, Pacific Time. Our telephone number is (800) 400-7115. We wish you luck in your future endeavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a seller's permit and why do I need one for direct sales?
A seller's permit is a state-issued license that allows you to sell goods and collect sales tax. If you are involved in direct sales, such as selling Pampered Chef products, you need a seller's permit to legally sell products and ensure compliance with state tax laws.
How do I apply for a seller's permit?
You can apply for a seller's permit through your state's Department of Revenue or equivalent agency. The application process typically involves filling out a form with your business information and may require a fee. Some states allow you to apply online, while others may require a paper application.
Do I need a seller's permit if I only sell online?
Are there any costs associated with obtaining a seller's permit?
What should I do if I sell in multiple states?
If you sell in multiple states, you may need to obtain a seller's permit in each state where you conduct business. Each state has its own regulations regarding sales tax and permits, so it's essential to research the requirements for each state where you plan to sell your products.
