direct seller engaged in the trade or business of selling, or soliciting
the sale of, consumer products to any buyer on a buy-sell basis, a

establishment other than a permanent retail establishment, if:
(1) Substantially all the remuneration, whether or not paid in cash, for
the performance of such services is directly related to sales or other
