Keep in mind that a business account does NOT increase new seller limits.
Subscribing to a store does not increase selling limits.
Please see the eBay Export page for information on how to set up your seller account and how to correctly creating listings when shipping from another country.

It really is not necessary to have a business account to sell on eBay.com.

OP3 weeks agoThere's just one problem. To sell anything, I need to set up payments. In Ukraine, they're only available through Payoneer. And the account types must match. But I have a Payoneer business account, so I can't connect my personal eBay account to my Payoneer business account. That's the problem. I need to change my eBay account type to start selling.

Mentor3 weeks ago@lasermodelgraver Will Payoneer allow you to open a second individual account?
If not then you can try contacting customer service to see if they can help you on social media.

I do not know how to advise on that, but I know there are instructions online and services offer this. You will also need to file taxes in USA if you go that route. Not sure you want all that extra work... buyers do not buy more or trust a business more.

Since you are located in Ukraine the ability of registering a business account may not be available to you. Do a Google search for:
" can I register an ebay.com business account if I am located in Ukraine? ".
The A.I. article will tell you what you need to be able to sell as a business on ebay from your country.

OPAug 13, 2026 at 12:16 PMThe search confirmed that it is possible to register a business account from Ukraine if you have the same account in the Payoneer payment system. I have such an account
