About Getting Permission

Is it mandatory to get eBay permission to sell items from my buying account ?

It is not always a good idea to buy, and sell from the same account.

No but you do need permission from the Sri Lankan government to sell items.

It is not "wrong" to do so, but buying, and selling on the same account can lead to problems.

If you leave bad feedback for a seller they may be upset, and buy from your selling account to leave bad feedback as revenge.

If you do a return that you bought the seller may buy from you just to do a return as revenge.

If you use your account to buy things that you are going to resell it will show if you use the same account to buy, and sell. Feedback can not be made "private" if you buy, and sell on the same account. Seller feedback can not be "private".

It is possible to buy/sell on the same account. I don't.

Not sure what you mean by permission, but to sell more information has to be provided than to buy.

@live_world_store, you don't need to get eBay's permission, but you do need to register as a seller first, because otherwise you can't receive any payments. 

Before that though, according to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, it appears that people in Sri Lanka need to register as a business in Sri Lanka first, in order to be able to receive payments in foreign currency, to their BFCA (Business Foreign Currency Account). Here's a link to their website, then click on CAN YOU ACCEPT FOREIGN CURRENCY AS EARNINGS FROM YOUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES IN SRI LANKA?  I have not been able to find anything that says that individuals in Sri Lanka can receive payments in foreign currency for selling goods and services, so this appears to mean that only businesses are allowed to do it. This would include selling on eBay.

Then, you need to register for eBay managed payments, and you will need to have (or create) a Payoneer account when you do that. Your bank account, Payoneer account and eBay account all need to match, so if your bank account is a business account, your Payoneer and eBay accounts have to be business accounts too, and your name and address have to be spelled exactly the same.  Payoneer will verify your identification documents, which may take a few days, or a few weeks.

For sellers in Sri Lanka, Managed Payments will be able to deposit your payments into your Payoneer account. Here's more information about managed payments for sellers outside the USA. There are other links on the export.ebay.com website that have a lot of information that should be helpful for you.

I've heard that the government of Sri Lanka requires requires their citizens to register as a business to sell things as an exporter.  Sre you saying this isn't the case?
