Mentor3 weeks ago · Edited@bayouboy1959 You will need to list an item to sell and set up a seller account first. Keep in mind that a business account or store subscription do NOT increase new seller limits. Once you set up a seller account you should be able to change to a Business account using the link that @krazzykats provided https://accountsettings.ebay.com/profile
Also you do NOT need a business account to sell on eBay.
You need to create your first listing directly on eBay to get your seller account set up.
Complete these steps in this order.
a) Draft a listing on eBay, click submit or "list it". The system should guide you through setup. If not, follow these steps:
b) Verify/update/complete your Profile Registration: Name, address, phone number, identity information (profile) on your eBay Account:
https://accountsettings.ebay.com/profile
-- Use your Street Address, even if you don’t get mail there.
-- Make sure to use your full legal name and that it matches your bank account and government ID ( drivers license etc)
c) And add a Checking Account ( it must be a brick and mortar checking account) and Credit/Debit Card: https://ppcapp.ebay.com/myppc/wallet/list
You will need to provide a SS# or ITIN to receive your payouts.
Please check to see if you have BOTH a Checking account marked for "Used for payouts" and a credit/debit card. One of these (bank account or card) needs to be marked for "Preferred for selling costs" I use a credit card for selling costs so that refunds and other fees don't come from my checking account.

Mentor1 month agoIf you go to your profile and you do not see the edit account type, it usually means you are not set up for Ebay Managed Payments. Do you have a linked bank account and tax ID currently for you personal account?
