A typical garage sale is not subject to taxes, and therefore usually does not need a tax number. However, depending on conditions, taxes may be due and/or a tax number may be required. If the garage sales provide significant income, then they are subject to taxes that must be paid with income taxes, filed under the SSN of the operator. If the operator has no SSN and cannot file for one, then they must file for an ITIN. Finally, if the garage sales can be classified as a business, they must have an EIN.
Laws concerning garage sales can vary depending on your location. Generally, it's important to check with your local city or county government to see if you need a permit to hold a garage sale, if there are restrictions on where and when you can hold the sale, and if there are any specific rules you need to follow regarding signage or sales tax collection. It's always best to comply with local regulations to avoid any potential fines or penalties.

If the sale is via the internet and the California seller has no Illinois location, then no, you don't need to charge Illinois sales tax. You'll need to consult California tax law to know whether to charge him California tax, but probably don't need to charge it either. If the sale is in person in California, then yes, you should charge him California sales tax. If the sale is via the phone you could probably get away with calling it an internet sale and skip the tax, although it depends more on California tax law than Illinois tax law.
