You don't need to register on every eBay site you want to list on (directly). One account is all you need.

eBay payments are broken up into areas (USA, Canada,  Europe, UK etc. i think there is 5 "zones"). the "zone" you are in is based on your location of residence. If you open multiple accounts using different countries of residence you will be in trouble for sure because you won't be able to complete your managed payments registration due to not having the proper tax identification and banking information.

If you want to list directly to any eBay site other than you home country just use your current id (as you are doing on .com) go to the site and log in.

Keep in mind that each eBay site has rules that only apply to that site but you will have to abide by them.

I do not recommend doing this if you are a new seller.

     Your OP is missing some potentially key information. Not sure why you are attempting to do this so a few questions that will help "guide" you. 

Since you are currently in India and posting on the U.S. eBay.com site are you planning on setting up a business in the UK and having items onsite somewhere in the UK? Not an uncommon things people run businesses out of multiple countries all the time. 

If you are setting up a business have you completed all the paperwork and obtained all the documentation to operate a business in the UK? Since this is mostly a U.S. based forum I am not sure what all of that entails with regards to establishing a business. 

Attempting to utilize the same payment process on the eBay UK site without having established the business presence is probably going to set off some alarms and cause you problems. If you want to register as a seller on the UK site, although I am not sure why you would want to do this without a business presence there, then you need to setup a separate account with a separate payment process in accordance with the rules and guidelines for the UK site. 

A few more details on why you are wanting to do this or what you are trying to achieve would help.

@aps_toolsWe have 1 account and make our items available to sell internationally via the ebay Global Shipping Program.  @slippinjimmy gave excellent advice. If you are a new seller on ebay, it's smart to get some experience. Selling internationally carries some additional risk - customs and duty fees, banned or restricted items based on the countries involved. If you just ship (not using the ebay GSP) an international buyer can just refuse to pay the customs and/or taxes that are due in their country. You would then either have to deal with the customs in another country and pay the shipping back, or lose the item. The buyer can also claim ans Item Not Received (even though it's because they won't go pick it up or pay what's owed). Ebay will then automatically refund the buyer out of your account and you're out the item.

The same can happen, even using the ebay GSP. Ebay used to guarantee the seller is covered once the item clears the ebay shipping center, but they don't anymore. Buyers file a claim because the item isn't there in the time ebay specified. Ebay refunds them, the buyer gets the item a few days later, and they get to keep it and the money!

I would strongly suggest that you read up on international shipping and all of the ebay terms of service. Best of luck to you!

@slippinjimmy 

thankyou all for a very prompt reply, your guidance is very well appreciated.

sir, the point to list my products on ebay uk as my products have much more demand on uk platform. I wanted to replicate my listings on ebay uk.. however, there are no free listings on that platform.

you guys are much more experienced and professional than me

can you please guide me, how to increase sales?

some tricks or anything?

just a request from junior to seniors

@aps_toolsI looked at your listings, and you currently have your account set to No Returns. This probably why the 1 unhappy customer gave you negative feedback - they assumed they were stuck with a substandard item. You can say No Returns, but buyers can open an Item Not as Described case against you. Ebay's 30-day money back guarantee will override your No returns policy. You're better off accepting returns - buyers will be more likely to purchase from a seller who stands behind their items.

It also looks like you offer free shipping Worldwide. That can really eat up your profits very quickly. You can set up your shipping preferences so that the free shipping only applies to destinations you're willing to ship to with the shipping included in the selling price. You can also set the shipping to calculate for the destinations you want to sell to, but that charge for the shipping in addition to the selling price.

The other posters here have offered really good advice. If you can answer their questions with more detail, people will be able to offer suggestions that will be useful to you.

Thankyou sir

     Some of the difficulties you face are you are selling tools that are readily available to most of the US market when it comes to name brands like Stanley which can be picked up at most major hardware stores in the U.S. at comparable prices without having to wait for the item to be shipped from India. I am slightly familiar with De Neers tools but in the U.S. you are in competition with some well established name brands that carry lifetime warranties on their products: Craftsman, Husky, MAC, S&K...... it's a  tough market to break into. De Neers does make a couple of specialty tools that are not available from a lot of other manufacturers. I own several of their non-magnetic stainless steel wrenches and have found them to be a good tool. 

     About the best suggestion I can make is to diversify your product line a bit more if you can find a market that you can be competitive in. Take a look at the top products imported out of India that have a high demand and see if you can expand into one of those areas.

Hello cstpos

I have the same problem but as an individual, I sell from a US warehouse but I want to add a French warehouse. Currently I have my  my account blocked because of the $600 reporting threshold  (Forms 1099-K) as a Non resident Alien, I'm not concerned so I sent my W8 BEN Form that explains it. I still had no answer, but again I'd like to sell from the US and French warehouse as an individual.

You can have a warehouse in France and you can list directly to the French eBay if you want ALL with the same seller account.

The fact that your Location shows you as US but you are a non resident your current id may be toast. eBay requires that you sign up for Managed Payments in your country of permanent residence.

You may need to start a new account and register Managed Payments as a EU resident and then use that selling account to list directly on eBay site you want.
