Issue when trying to open an eBay store
When I try to open a store it takes me to the subscription selection page but won't allow me to choose a subscription because I don't have a payment method on file. When I check the payment tab in my account there are several valid cards on file. When I click the link on the subscription page to add a payment method it takes me to a page that says I have no balance and there is no way to add a method from that page. How am I supposed to add a payment method for choosing a subscription?

You need to list your first item in order to set up a "selling expense" card.
You don't need to subscribe to a store to begin listing, you can easily list 100 items before you need consider a store.
Here is a help page with everything you need to know to start selling on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/selling/start-selling-ebay?id=4081
When you are ready to get started, there are links on the above page to:
- Set up a basic account
- Create your first listing
When you finish your first listing:
- eBay will ask for more detailed information from you, including where you want your payouts sent, and a card for selling expenses.
There are good video overviews on this page about how to create a listing:
