      Unable to complete Developer Program account setup — need guidance on next steps
                       

      Hi all, I'm trying to get an eBay Developers Program account opened and I've hit a wall. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I've gone through the registration process, but I can't get the account to a working state. When I contacted regular eBay customer support, they told me they don't have access to Developer Program accounts and couldn't help, so I'm not sure where to go from here. A few questions: Is there a verification step or profile requirement I might be missing that blocks the account from being fully opened? Is developer support something I need to activate on my profile before I can submit a ticket? I've seen that mentioned but want to confirm. If the account needs manual review, what's the correct way to request that? I'm happy to complete any verification or provide whatever documentation is needed — I'd just like to know what's actually required so I can get it sorted. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks.

      Daily doesn't mean the same thing to me as it does to Ebay
                                       

      I am a first time Ebay seller and I did not watch the how to sell video before ya'll come at me about that. I selected the daily payout option. My exact question regardless if I am going to get paid today or not is: when Ebay states "daily payouts" and that option is selected, what time EXACTLY IN THE 24 HOURS OF EACH SINGLE INDIVIDUAL DAY is that going to occur at? and part 2, is that Japan time, Canada time, NY time, like at what measurement of time of the "daily" does Ebay release funds to the seller?

      Upgraded to Business Account and Top Rated Seller – Then Everything Went Wrong

      Has anyone else experienced a major drop in performance after converting their eBay account from a personal account to a business account? I've been an eBay user for many years and have always enjoyed buying and selling on the platform. Earlier this year I converted my account from a personal account to a business account for my small business. Shortly afterwards I achieved Top Rated Seller status, which I was obviously pleased about. Around the same time, however, the account's performance appears to have declined dramatically. Sales have fallen, fees seem much much higher than before, and despite continuing to make sales, my available balance has steadily reduced. The account now has almost no money available, even though items are still selling. Before the change, I was successfully selling both personal household items and business inventory. Since becoming a business account, it feels like something has fundamentally changed, but I can't work out exactly what. I would be interested to hear from other sellers: • Did converting to a business account affect your sales or visibility? • Were there any unexpected fees, subscriptions, advertising settings, or account changes that caught you by surprise? • Has anyone successfully reverted a business account back to a personal account? • Is there anything I should check before contacting eBay support? I genuinely like eBay and want to continue selling on the platform. This small business helps support my family, and the recent decline has made selling on eBay financially very difficult. I'm simply trying to understand what may have happened and whether anyone else has experienced something similar. Is there any way to revert a business account back to a personal account? I can't see an option to do this in my account settings. Has anyone successfully done it by contacting eBay support? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, AL

      FEATURE; Shareable item lists still absent
                       

      Previous iterations of eBay featured the ability to create and share lists of specific items. This was removed in 2024 and makes eBay look lesser than Amazon ( https://community.ebay.com/t5/Report-eBay-Technical-Issues/How-do-I-create-and-share-a-wishlist/m-p/33542370#M108459 ). The "search" share function works (a whole bunch of URL parameters). Restoring the List function should encourage more simultaneously purchase sales as people build up purchasing plans as seen on Screwfix, IKEA, and Amazon

      Hey everyone, just wanted to say hi! I'm pretty new to selling online, especially on platforms like this. I'm a mineralogist by trade, and I'm looking to start sharing some of the amazing specimens I've collected over the years. I'm really excited to see what kind of interest there is and to connect with other enthusiasts. Hope to find some good homes for these treasures! @everyone!

      How do I increase my sales using competitive prices while NOT going broke?
                                                       

      When reviewing my store performance, I have noticed most of my listings have zero(0) views and clicks. My first month after opening my account, everything and anything sold quickly. It became a running joke that "Someone will buy this   fill-in-the-blank  for $5 on Ebay".   A year later and barely one sale a week. How do I get better exposure for my store and my listings without having to practically give everything away or give most of my profit to Ebay? How can I make money again on Ebay?

      Need to switch from Business to Individual account
               

      Hello, I accidentally created my eBay account as a Business account, but I’m an individual seller and do not own a registered business. I would like to switch my account type to an Individual account without losing my feedback or selling history. Can someone from eBay please help me with this change? Thanks in advance, Roni Levi
