    Selling on ebay
                     

    Is a “seller” account required to sell on ebay? 

    that seems ridiculous.  I have an occasional item I want to sell.  Im not a business in any way.  Ebay wants personal data and wants to take taxes out what I sell!  I won’t sell $1000 worth of merchandise in a year.

     

    of course, ive already sold a couple items, now they want yo hold my money until I give them my full ssn.  That seems over the line to me.  I just want paid and close this nonsense down.

    @bryan-t 

    Yes, you do have to register as a seller and provide your banking information if you want to sell and get paid, just like the millions of other Ebay sellers have done.

     

    Register as a seller:

    https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/getting-paid/registering-seller?id=4792

    • Full name
    • Address
    • Date of birth
    • Social Security Number (SSN)

    Getting paid for items you've sold

    https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/getting-paid/payouts-work-managed-payments-sellers?id=4814

    To verify your bank account, Ebay will need:

    • Name on the checking account (must match the name on your Ebay account)
    • Bank name
    • Routing number
    • Account number

    Only if you want to get paid.
