Mentor2 years ago@likl13 You need to first register as a seller and sell as a private seller if you didn't select the business account option when setting up the account. Once you sell a few items and your account is registered as a seller account then you will see the option in account settings to change to a business.
There is really no need to use a business account on eBay unless you have a business license and a business checking account.
All buyers payments are managed by eBay and sent to your linked checking account. eBay doesn't offer the debit card payout option at first.
You need to create your first listing directly on eBay to get your 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.
c) And add a Checking Account and Credit/Debit Card: https://ppcapp.ebay.com/myppc/wallet/list
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"
TIP: Buyers pay by eBay "Managed Payments". eBay processes all the payments; they accept credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc. The buyer pays eBay by various methods, and eBay sends the money to you by a deposit to your Bank Checking Account.
You only need to register for eBay Managed Payments and eBay does the rest.
