Even though it appears that these two would be different, there are no differences whatsoever.  Some people call it seller's permit and others wholesale ID 1) because the particular state calls it so or it is a business custom term in that state or accross the type of industry.  Naturally, wholesalers call it a wholesale ID and retail seller's call it a seller's permit.  In either case, both need to get these ID.  Here's why:

The seller's permit is a type of permission by the state that issues it and with it you  act as an agent or broker in buying merchandise wholesale to sell to other businesses wholesale or to sell to others retail ( small amounts or by the piece). If you are a business  already registered with the state it may be easier. With the state however, nothing is really easy plus you need to satisfy certain requirements before the sales tax id number is issued..

You need a wholesale ID or a Seller's Permit when you are purchasing products in in quantities to manufacture them, namely, to physically assemble, sort or grade, or to even repack and sell retail, that is to  redistribute in smaller amounts, then you will need a seller's permit also called a wholesaler license, a wholesale id or a sales tax id number. The seller's license, that includes a resale certificate (a resale certificate is a form with your seller's permit and business information with which you provide the wholesalers to buy in bulk), is issued by the state in which you do business. 

In some states, you may also need a federal tax id in addition to the seller's permit.  If so, you can obtain a ss4 form federal tax id here online with your seller's application information.  It takes a couple of weeks to receive both or either one of these number and our fees is under $80 dollars.

Get your seller's permit sales tax license. The reason you need it is because sales tax is applied by most states to all sales of tangible concrete type of  merchandise and to charge additional sales tax you will need to be registered to collect that tax and then render it to the state afterward. A wholesale license or reseller certificate will help you avoid paying sales tax on items you purchase wholesale and intend to resell.
