Personal to business account change
Trying to change my personal account to a business account is impossible. Why doesn’t it give me the option to do this? I went to account settings and there is no option to change it to business. What am I doing wrong

Mentor11 months agoWhile what @comics-scifi-collectibles says is absolutely correct, if you really want your account to be marked a Business account you should contact Ebay directly for some assistance. IDK why you can do this yourself, as you should be able to.
On each Ebay page there is a link to contact Customer Service at the top of the page and again at the bottom of the page.
I would suggest that you contact Ebay for Business on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for the better trained CSRs.
Here are your options for contacting Ebay Customer Service. Please be aware that for social media CS, you send them a Private Message and briefly explain what your problem or issue is. Feel free to leave your Name, address, phone number and/or your email address in this message. It is private and secure and it may help to speed up the response for you.

Your options will be on the left. If you use the link below you can only get to the Automated Assistant or Chat box type AGENT in the box and hit enter. You will then get more options. Not all options are available 24/7. It will depend on staffing available. So sometimes you can request a call back and sometimes you can't. Sometimes you have the Chat option available and other times it won't me. If it is important to you to use one of those options, just try back later.
If you use a cell phone or other mobile device, you may need to turn off your Spam filter so that Ebay can call you.
If you are a seller outside of the US or Canada, you will need to use the Chat Option.

Mentor11 months ago@deals4everyoneusa You do not need a business account to sell on eBay. You should only open a business account if you have a license and are "doing business as" Then you need a business checking account too. I don't recommend this as DBA account set ups can sometimes get stuck in the verification process.
Just have a separate checking account for your eBay sales to make accounting easier.
