Same here I watched a lot of videos explaining things and kept with learning . Found out helpful info on looking up same as I want to sell in sold section 😃 . Working reducing clutter also by selling . Even have a thought look up your items pick closest distance and maybe a close buyer will meet and buy most of your stuff to resell .
I have an old account that I use on my computer. Recently, I uploaded the app on my iPhone. Now I have two usernames or two accounts. When I tried to upload my pictures direct from my cell phone to my computer didn’t work should I have the sameusername on my cell phone and my computer so they are in sync. Figured you’d be the man to ask.
Thank you so much for this video. We sold for ebay about 6 years ago and had good feedback but the platform has definitely changed. I’m very rusty but you explained it very well to begin again using our original account.
You have become a wealth of information for me! I really value your credible trusting persona in providing the specifics of your topic. There are a lot of "E-Bay tutorial" type You Tubers but I have come to use yours as my primary resource. You convey a true genuine interest to want to help new Ebay sellers.

I’ll try this one more time. I have an old account for eBay on my computer and recently I uploaded the eBay app on my iPhone and tried to upload pictures from my iPhone to my eBay to list a new item but I couldn’t upload my pictures to the computer from my phone.

eBay has provided us with enough income to bridge the gap between our retirement income and where we want to be. It's still a lot of work. It's not perfect. But it is doable. Try not to focus on your entire situation and everything that needs to happen. Just focus on getting where you want to be one step at a time.
Ebay has made it really hard because they put us on a 70 listing post threshold and we had to wait a month, and argued with them to increase. I even purchased a store and ebay would not budge on opening up our listing more than 70

Scott, Your series is great concise and well produced. You have taken out much of the uncertainty of using eBay and I am actually excited about getting started. But one question and I may have missed it, but what is the best way for eBay get our money to us after a sale? direct deposit to a bank account? credit a credit or debit card, etc.
Alright, let's do this. I'm recently unemployed and have stuff to get rid of. Seems like a good time to see if reselling is worth the hype. Edit: Created an account, but wasn't taken to a seller hub (I'm on PC). Could be the age of this video and Ebay has updated since then? Edit #2: Welp, regardless of the differences, I was able to follow along for the most part. Had to peruse the page a bit to find the stuff you were talking about. The only thing missing that is disappointing, there are no security question options for passwords. Anyway, thanks for the video. Nice having a guide when it comes to technical stuff. 🙏
Hmm...you might have to list an item first to access the seller hub. You can try this link and see if that helps. www.ebay.com/sellerhub Yeah, the security seems to be out-of-date. If there are updates, I'll try to pass them along.
I have one thing extra on my computer. Please I need to get answer what may I select it. ON THE BOTTON Ebay account, Subscriptions Edit your marketing communication preferences.
Scott, here is what I would like to know. I am a Canadian eBayer. I would like to start selling coins on eBay to the US and Internationally but would require tracking to ensure that the coin arrives at its destination so that I will not have problems with the buyer or eBay. How can I do it by eBay or Canada Post especially since I would like to absorb postage.
I don't know much about shipping from Canada. But, I know that there are a lot of Canadian sellers who do ship to the US. Having zero experience with any shipping services outside of the US, I can't give you much direction. As far as absorbing the cost, you just need to incorporate it into your price. You might try the eBay shipping calculator and see if it will work from a Canadian location. It might also give you options for shipping. www.ebay.com/shp/Calculator
I have been watching you and excited to sell on ebay, newly created an account and they suspend it. Called them, won’t give a reason. Sad but I will try other platform. Grateful for you and will keep watching. Thank you for all you do😊
Something must have triggered it to suspend you right away. Sadly, when eBay suspends an account, they rarely explain why it happened. I think that's a major flaw with the platform. It's also one of the main reasons I cross post to Poshmark and Etsy.
When I was selling for Ebay I used the word "ivory" to describe a color and I got flagged for that as the ivory tusks that are illegally sold! Words like velcro, onesies, one stroke painting are copyrighted and you’ll be flagged for that too.
There aren't a lot of benefits, or even differences, to starting with a business account unless a tax professional is telling you that you need to. You can sell on either. You have to report the income on both of them. And, you can easily convert your existing personal account to a business one without losing any of your history or feedback. So, I usually recommend just starting with a personal account, or using an existing one, unless you have consulted with a tax/liability professional that has directed you otherwise.
Hi i created a ebay business account but i didn't pay for any membership plans as a business but my stuff is still listed do i need to pay for a membership fees even though my stuff is still listed
No, you really don't. You don't have to pay for a store subscription to have a business account. I wouldn't pay for a store subscription until you know for sure you want one. I'll link a video I made about that. ruclips.net/video/Hb_nhQMyNfs/видео.html
thanks my friend, wonderfully explained! I have been looking to get started with selling for years, but was always apprehensive and intimidated by the payment method for some reason. i guess because theres so much fraud and scamming going on these days, it makes you think twice. Anyway, do you have a more detailed video tutorial where you focus more on that aspect alone? I don't know if paypal is available as an option and i've had bad experience with zelle for wiring money into my bank account, so not thrilled about that option... thanks again for the great video!
I don't have a in-depth tutorial for the payment plan. You have to have a US bank account tied to it for deposits. PayPal isn't an option for receiving payments. That said, I've had 17K sales on eBay alone and have never once had an issue with my bank as a result. I like the eBay Managed payments much better than running it through PayPal as a middleman.
great video. do you have a video teaching how to create a small business selling account that hides my person info (home address and phone number)? I like the way you explain things.
I may of missed this, and im sorry if i did. But Can i put my paypal account on my ebay when selling stuff, so they can pay right away, and deposit the money into my paypal instead of a bank account.
Not any more. Sellers have to use the eBay managed payment system. I hated it at first. But, honestly, at this point it's better for me. I still get paid every day. It's pretty seamless for me now.
@@TheChaChingKing how do you get your money out of the ebay payment system. I do not what to put my bank account info on my account, can i have it send it to paypal
I don't think you can use PayPal anymore as your primary depositor. For what it's worth, I created an account just for eBay about 12 years ago. I've never had a single issue with security related to eBay....nothing remotely problematic. @@djzman
Maybe create a new bank account just for eBay. So it's not connected to your personal life. Just to be safe. Most business owners have their personal bank account and a separate bank account for their business. Then just pay themselves: withdrawal from business account, deposit to personal account. That's my basic understanding, anyway.
eBay does not require you to have a business account to sell. So, you don't need that for eBay. As far as Australia, I honestly don't know the rules and regulations for there. I do know there are some Australian sellers on RUclips. This might be a question that @backfromburnout could answer.
Hi Scott, so I started listing on my account, but I never did it on Seller’s hub, bec. i am not aware of the seller’s hub yet until I watch your video. So pls help me what to do next pls. Scott? Is it better and safer to just use my existing EMAIL when I first signed up or do I need to create another email and create a new Ebay account since I am just starting. I need help Scott. Thank you.
Thank for for the quick response...I'm not familiar with instagram.... couldn't find the prompt for attachments to send you the screenshots...however when I tried to msg you I couldn't because the prompt said this acct doesn't accept new msg request from everyone... lol
Question: I have an old eBay account that I’ve had for years. I have sold on it in the past a long time ago. How do I change my bank account information to my new bank card? It wants the old bank card number which I don’t have anymore and cannot find. Help!
hi sir, first of all let me tell you that you are doing a great job. Sir can we convert our individual seller account to buisness account or do we have to create a new account for buisness.
Hi Scott, first I would like to say thank you so much for keep sharing helpful videos and make us motivate to pursue our dream. Do you a video how to set up business account on eBay as sole proprietor? Thanks again.
By default, when you begin selling for profit on eBay, you are a sole proprietorship. So, there's nothing on eBay's end that needs to be done...no real video for me to show. The requirements vary so much from state to state that I truly don't have the knowledge to address what is needed. In Texas, I picked up a reseller tax certificate, but even that isn't required. @@gracejackson7069
Thank you so much for such a detailed video . Just one question , when registering a new ebay sellers account , can I use a virtual address ( not a PO box , just a virtual street address I have got for ebay ) when filling in address as I do not want my home address out for privacy reasons ? Kindly guide me on this please . Also, if I register as a business type of account , can I use personal bank account , or is it must to have a business bank account while registering a new ebay seller account . Thanks so much for your guidance and time .
The virtual address should work. Ebay probably isn't going to come out and say it's OK, but it's all but impossible to stop. Businesses everywhere use addresses that are separate from where the owners live. You typically do not have to have a business bank account. It depends on your bank as much or more than it does ebay.
@@TheChaChingKing : thank you so much for your prompt reply . Just wondering if ebay will be verifying that virtual address at all if I put that in case of my own home address ? Will having a virtual address while first registering my account cause any problems in the verification process of my new ebay account ? I am just hesitant to use my personal address for privacy reasons .. thanks
Hi I am a new seller (in fact I haven't start selling yet). I follow you and I have learn so much. I just want to double check some information. I have an account as a buyer, if I have this account I can used it as a Seller. Is that right? Thank you, Maritza.
Help! I am not getting the first HUB screen that is supposed to pop up. I have looked for it on my old account and then started a new eBay account and neither one showed it. Will you please help me find it?
Top left of your screen, click the down arrow just under your name. Then click Account Settings. Then , click on Personal Information. It should be the second option.
I tried to set up my old account for use of a seller. Everything went fine, then 5 minutes later I was permanently suspended. No explanation no second chances. I can’t even buy or anyone in my household. I believe it was because I logged in while my VPN was on. No recourse. I have since researched and there are many horror stories like mine. I went through the verification etc and still suspended.
Apparently it’s a bigger problem than you know. I agree it is probably not the age of the account. But, I know for sure that I am not a risk to their company and clients. If you Google eBay permanent account suspensions you will be shocked. So many heartbreaking stories about people losing their source of income without explanation. I was going to start buying my shipping equipment through eBay as my first step to get started and then I was booted out. The silver lining for me is that I didn’t spend that startup money. I will be looking for other ways to resell since eBay is no longer an option. Glad you are enjoying a great success. I have a background in retail and inventory management and was so excited to start my business at eBay. But, I think the Bots and eBay team thought I was a threat due to my VPN that masked my location. Lesson learned.
please help...tried to issue a refund to a buyer because i accidentally rubbed off printing on a keychain collectible;...I shipped it anyway and decided to give a full refund and let the buyer keep the item; finally found out how to do it on ebay, but it won't accept it....took screenshots....do you have any idea why I can't submit the refund....(the package was mailed today, June 12th) thanks for all the great teaching...been on ebay since March of this year....be blessed coming and going out Carla
I don't think it's impossible. I know you'll need a US bank account of some sort for deposits. If you can ship out of your country, you need to see how others are doing eBay in your area. That would help tremendously.
I am a new user on eBay and I'm trying to sell and I go to hit payment option to add my bank account and all it's giving me is an option for credit cards or debit cards do you have any clue what I am doing wrong
They are just ensuring that you are who you say you are and that there is an active account to make deposits into. They are required by law to reports sales in excess of $600 per year. It's really the only way they can do it.
I have an individual account. Do you have to have a store account to get the seller hub? I have sold several items and my seller account does not show anything.
Make sure your store is active every day. List consistently. Make sure your prices are competitive with similar items that are selling. Most money is made when you buy. So, make sure you're buying items that will sell.
I'm not sure that you can. I had to have a bank account when I signed up with the new account. Unless something has changed again, which is possible, I don't think that only having PayPal will work.
Hi ，dear, why I registered my personal and business uk seller account step by step but finally suspended within 30mins, hope you can reply me thanks ,you are really great and video as well❤
If they put a hold on, there would have been a message. Perhaps it was accidentally deleted. Is it a new account? It's common to have a hold placed until you've connected a bank account
I have an old account but do not want to use it. Will I have to make a different email account or can I just make a new account with my same phone number and email?
I'm good! This one was just 5 day ago. 😀 I try to do one a week. This one is just a bit slower because my inlaws had some Dr. appointments that changed our schedules. I appreciate you checking on me.
@@TheChaChingKing so I don’t have to pay them upfront first before I can list my items. They just take their fees from my account before I withdraw it. Cuz I want to start a small Apple AirPods sales for around 99$ and I don’t have the upfront fees. Thanks
Can somebody out there help me e bay is not easy to use I have been trying for days to create a sellers account it's making me really ill now. It's to bloody difficult.
The videos will be imperfect simply because the platform changes all the time. One minor change can trip you up. You might be able to find someone to do an individual mentorship. I started RUclips, in part, because I didn't have the time to help people individually. You might also reach out to eBay for Business on Facebook and let them know exactly where the problem is occurring. They may be able to get you over the hump.
@@TheChaChingKing Thanks for this I can't seem to get an angle on how this thing works. And I open up.the page and don't have the foggiest idea of what to click on. It's soo frustrating I know what I want to sell and I think it will sell, but getting over this first hurdle is mind boggling. There are so many things to click on and I don't know where to begin.
You need to reach out to eBay for Business on Facebook. I don't have any experience unlocking a suspended account. But perhaps they can guide you. Hopefully they can tell you why it is suspended so that you can fix the problem.
Thank you for your helpful videos! Is there anything specific that needs to be set up if you are planning on running your eBay selling business with another person, such as your husband or adult son? Can you both have access at the same time in order to receive any notifications or messages that need to be handled?
Melody and I work together on the same account. Pretty much, anyone you give your password to can work on it. Mel is often logged in on her computer at the same time that I am without any issues at all.
You will have to supply banking information so that you can receive payments. And you will need your social security information so that eBay can file the mandatory tax reports.
@@TheChaChingKing it's great to know that eBay doesn't have any restrictions. So do I need to repeat the whole process again for opening the second store just like I did on 1st time. I'm sorry for asking many questions.
You can. There are a few rules you have to follow. eBay has some tips and tricks for it here: www.ebay.com/help/selling/posting-items/setting-postage-options/drop-shipping?id=4176
eBay doesn't allow you to buy or sell your eBay account. It's against their terms of service to transfer ownership of an account. I wouldn't ever try it.
No, sorry. I am just spread too thin to do any one-on-one mentorships of any kind. I've created the videos to try and help as many people as I can. But I just can't do individual requests at this time.
Today I listed my first item on EBAY! Just wanted to say thanks to you and my wonderful husband for giving me the courage to do it.
You are so welcome!

We just have a small box. I can always pick up bigger packages at the counter. So, for a lot of us, the smallest and cheapest box is perfectly fine.
Very well explained. Thanks.
Glad you liked it
I notice this video is a year old, do you have a video showing how to create a 2nd ebay account? thanks
I have one thing extra on my computer. Please I need to get answer what may I select it. ON THE BOTTON Ebay account, Subscriptions Edit your marketing communication preferences.
I turn off the marketing communications. I don't want them sending me any marketing stuff.
Thankyou for this very detailed video ❤
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Scott, here is what I would like to know. I am a Canadian eBayer. I would like to start selling coins on eBay to the US and Internationally but would require tracking to ensure that the coin arrives at its destination so that I will not have problems with the buyer or eBay. How can I do it by eBay or Canada Post especially since I would like to absorb postage.
I don't know much about shipping from Canada. But, I know that there are a lot of Canadian sellers who do ship to the US. Having zero experience with any shipping services outside of the US, I can't give you much direction. As far as absorbing the cost, you just need to incorporate it into your price. You might try the eBay shipping calculator and see if it will work from a Canadian location. It might also give you options for shipping. www.ebay.com/shp/Calculator
I have been watching you and excited to sell on ebay, newly created an account and they suspend it. Called them, won’t give a reason. Sad but I will try other platform. Grateful for you and will keep watching. Thank you for all you do😊
Something must have triggered it to suspend you right away. Sadly, when eBay suspends an account, they rarely explain why it happened. I think that's a major flaw with the platform. It's also one of the main reasons I cross post to Poshmark and Etsy.
When I was selling for Ebay I used the word "ivory" to describe a color and I got flagged for that as the ivory tusks that are illegally sold! Words like velcro, onesies, one stroke painting are copyrighted and you’ll be flagged for that too.
Thanks for the very good information 🎉 hello from Kazakhstan 🎉🎉🎉
Oh wow! Kazakhstan! Thank you from a world away
Thank You for trying to assist; I'll just send them a check.
Is it important as to whether or not you make it a personal account or business, what would be the pro's and con's?
There aren't a lot of benefits, or even differences, to starting with a business account unless a tax professional is telling you that you need to. You can sell on either. You have to report the income on both of them. And, you can easily convert your existing personal account to a business one without losing any of your history or feedback. So, I usually recommend just starting with a personal account, or using an existing one, unless you have consulted with a tax/liability professional that has directed you otherwise.
You answered my question in the first few minutes. If I have an existing account with Ebay will I need to change my settings?
You won't need to do anything at all other than start listing. You should be good to go. :-)
Hi i created a ebay business account but i didn't pay for any membership plans as a business but my stuff is still listed do i need to pay for a membership fees even though my stuff is still listed
No, you really don't. You don't have to pay for a store subscription to have a business account. I wouldn't pay for a store subscription until you know for sure you want one. I'll link a video I made about that. ruclips.net/video/Hb_nhQMyNfs/видео.html
Thanks I'll check it out I just started my clothing brand
thanks my friend, wonderfully explained! I have been looking to get started with selling for years, but was always apprehensive and intimidated by the payment method for some reason. i guess because theres so much fraud and scamming going on these days, it makes you think twice. Anyway, do you have a more detailed video tutorial where you focus more on that aspect alone? I don't know if paypal is available as an option and i've had bad experience with zelle for wiring money into my bank account, so not thrilled about that option... thanks again for the great video!
I don't have a in-depth tutorial for the payment plan. You have to have a US bank account tied to it for deposits. PayPal isn't an option for receiving payments. That said, I've had 17K sales on eBay alone and have never once had an issue with my bank as a result. I like the eBay Managed payments much better than running it through PayPal as a middleman.
@@TheChaChingKing thanks for the prompt reply. So i can use my Chase Visa Card and the payments will just be funneled to the account balance?
@@giantessmaria If the card is attached to a US bank account and not a credit account, that should work just fine.
great video. do you have a video teaching how to create a small business selling account that hides my person info (home address and phone number)? I like the way you explain things.
It looks as if you found the video I have relating to not disclosing any more of your personal information than necessary.
Thank you!
I may of missed this, and im sorry if i did. But Can i put my paypal account on my ebay when selling stuff, so they can pay right away, and deposit the money into my paypal instead of a bank account.
Not any more. Sellers have to use the eBay managed payment system. I hated it at first. But, honestly, at this point it's better for me. I still get paid every day. It's pretty seamless for me now.
@@TheChaChingKing how do you get your money out of the ebay payment system. I do not what to put my bank account info on my account, can i have it send it to paypal
I don't think you can use PayPal anymore as your primary depositor. For what it's worth, I created an account just for eBay about 12 years ago. I've never had a single issue with security related to eBay....nothing remotely problematic. @@djzman
Maybe create a new bank account just for eBay. So it's not connected to your personal life. Just to be safe. Most business owners have their personal bank account and a separate bank account for their business. Then just pay themselves: withdrawal from business account, deposit to personal account.
That's my basic understanding, anyway.
You are amazing!!
You are way too kind. Thank you.
Is it compulsory to make business seller account and what are the requirements in Australia
eBay does not require you to have a business account to sell. So, you don't need that for eBay. As far as Australia, I honestly don't know the rules and regulations for there. I do know there are some Australian sellers on RUclips. This might be a question that @backfromburnout could answer.
Hi Scott, so I started listing on my account, but I never did it on Seller’s hub, bec. i am not aware of the seller’s hub yet until I watch your video. So pls help me what to do next pls. Scott? Is it better and safer to just use my existing EMAIL when I first signed up or do I need to create another email and create a new Ebay account since I am just starting. I need help Scott. Thank you.
Just use your existing account. When you opt into the seller hub, it works with your existing account. :-)
@@TheChaChingKing Thank so much Scott. God bless u and Melody.
Thank for for the quick response...I'm not familiar with instagram.... couldn't find the prompt for attachments to send you the screenshots...however when I tried to msg you I couldn't because the prompt said this acct doesn't accept new msg request from everyone... lol
I don't have that set up on RUclips. I'm not sure that you can. I would never be able to keep up with it.
Question: I have an old eBay account that I’ve had for years. I have sold on it in the past a long time ago. How do I change my bank account information to my new bank card? It wants the old bank card number which I don’t have anymore and cannot find. Help!
You need to add your new information first and then get rid of the old one.
hi sir, first of all let me tell you that you are doing a great job. Sir can we convert our individual seller account to buisness account or do we have to create a new account for buisness.
You can convert your existing account. No need to make a new one.
Hi Scott, first I would like to say thank you so much for keep sharing helpful videos and make us motivate to pursue our dream. Do you a video how to set up business account on eBay as sole proprietor? Thanks again.
By default, when you begin selling for profit on eBay, you are a sole proprietorship. So, there's nothing on eBay's end that needs to be done...no real video for me to show. The requirements vary so much from state to state that I truly don't have the knowledge to address what is needed. In Texas, I picked up a reseller tax certificate, but even that isn't required.

Thank you so much Scott
Thank you so much for such a detailed video . Just one question , when registering a new ebay sellers account , can I use a virtual address ( not a PO box , just a virtual street address I have got for ebay ) when filling in address as I do not want my home address out for privacy reasons ? Kindly guide me on this please . Also, if I register as a business type of account , can I use personal bank account , or is it must to have a business bank account while registering a new ebay seller account . Thanks so much for your guidance and time .
The virtual address should work. Ebay probably isn't going to come out and say it's OK, but it's all but impossible to stop. Businesses everywhere use addresses that are separate from where the owners live.
You typically do not have to have a business bank account. It depends on your bank as much or more than it does ebay.
@@TheChaChingKing : thank you so much for your prompt reply . Just wondering if ebay will be verifying that virtual address at all if I put that in case of my own home address ? Will having a virtual address while first registering my account cause any problems in the verification process of my new ebay account ? I am just hesitant to use my personal address for privacy reasons .. thanks
Hi I am a new seller (in fact I haven't start selling yet). I follow you and I have learn so much. I just want to double check some information. I have an account as a buyer, if I have this account I can used it as a Seller. Is that right? Thank you, Maritza.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, I'd strongly recommend that you use an account with age and history. That alone will scare off most of the scammers.
Thank you
Help! I am not getting the first HUB screen that is supposed to pop up. I have looked for it on my old account and then started a new eBay account and neither one showed it. Will you please help me find it?
Try this link. You may have to opt in to the seller hub. ebay.com/sellerhub
@@TheChaChingKing thank you!
@@TheChaChingKing it worked, so simple. I’m off opening my store.
You've got this! @@StateFarmsMom
Thank you so much. You walked me through setting up my store. Now I am off to your shipping policy video. You are a great help and educator! ❤
Please help me, how can i change account type in eBay account settings
Business to individual
Top left of your screen, click the down arrow just under your name. Then click Account Settings. Then , click on Personal Information. It should be the second option.
@@TheChaChingKing but there is no edit options opposite account type, no edit button.
thx does Ebay support dropshipping
Drop shipping is allowed on eBay if you own the items prior to listing or have an agreement with a wholesale supplier to list and sell their items.
I tried to set up my old account for use of a seller. Everything went fine, then 5 minutes later I was permanently suspended. No explanation no second chances. I can’t even buy or anyone in my household. I believe it was because I logged in while my VPN was on. No recourse. I have since researched and there are many horror stories like mine. I went through the verification etc and still suspended.
I couldn't even begin to guess. It's not the age of the account. I opened my account in 99.
Apparently it’s a bigger problem than you know. I agree it is probably not the age of the account. But, I know for sure that I am not a risk to their company and clients. If you Google eBay permanent account suspensions you will be shocked. So many heartbreaking stories about people losing their source of income without explanation. I was going to start buying my shipping equipment through eBay as my first step to get started and then I was booted out. The silver lining for me is that I didn’t spend that startup money. I will be looking for other ways to resell since eBay is no longer an option. Glad you are enjoying a great success. I have a background in retail and inventory management and was so excited to start my business at eBay. But, I think the Bots and eBay team thought I was a threat due to my VPN that masked my location. Lesson learned.
please help...tried to issue a refund to a buyer because i accidentally rubbed off printing on a keychain collectible;...I shipped it anyway and decided to give a full refund and let the buyer keep the item; finally found out how to do it on ebay, but it won't accept it....took screenshots....do you have any idea why I can't submit the refund....(the package was mailed today, June 12th) thanks for all the great teaching...been on ebay since March of this year....be blessed coming and going out Carla
Oh wow...no idea. Can you send me the screenshots on Instagram?
hey i like this video and from Africa is it possible for me to sell on ebay
I don't think it's impossible. I know you'll need a US bank account of some sort for deposits. If you can ship out of your country, you need to see how others are doing eBay in your area. That would help tremendously.
I am a new user on eBay and I'm trying to sell and I go to hit payment option to add my bank account and all it's giving me is an option for credit cards or debit cards do you have any clue what I am doing wrong
It won't let some people add a bank account until they sell their first item. So, that may be all you're facing.
Nice content
Even after doing everything it’s still asking for a bank statement and photo id do I have to put that?
They are just ensuring that you are who you say you are and that there is an active account to make deposits into. They are required by law to reports sales in excess of $600 per year. It's really the only way they can do it.
I have an individual account. Do you have to have a store account to get the seller hub? I have sold several items and my seller account does not show anything.
Never mind. Some how it started working out of the blue.
YEAH!
thank you so much
Visible to everyone is off and wont let me turn on it says it is unable to turn on comments because I have active listings??? Help please!
I'm afraid I don't understand. Can you put in quotes exactly what the message said? I'm not sure I've ever seen what you are describing.
@@TheChaChingKing unable to turn on comments because you have active listings(just one that I put last night which I cant find)
How to increase ebay sales please guide me
Thanks
Make sure your store is active every day. List consistently. Make sure your prices are competitive with similar items that are selling. Most money is made when you buy. So, make sure you're buying items that will sell.
Would u use PayPal vs personal checking account
I'm not sure that you can. I had to have a bank account when I signed up with the new account. Unless something has changed again, which is possible, I don't think that only having PayPal will work.
Thank you both for sharing have a blessed day in the name of Jesus Christ.
Hi ，dear, why I registered my personal and business uk seller account step by step but finally suspended within 30mins, hope you can reply me thanks ,you are really great and video as well❤
There's no way for me to know why that happened. Reach out to eBay for Business on Facebook. They might help you get that resolved.
Hi my eBay seller account is on hold and eBay said I should check my ebay messages but I haven’t gotten an message
If they put a hold on, there would have been a message. Perhaps it was accidentally deleted. Is it a new account? It's common to have a hold placed until you've connected a bank account
@@TheChaChingKing it’s a new account and I added my bank already

THANK U SCOTT
I have an old account but do not want to use it. Will I have to make a different email account or can I just make a new account with my same phone number and email?
You will have to have a unique email address. I don't think the phone number will matter.
Thank you for answering, that is very nice. @@TheChaChingKing just subscribed
Where are you is all ok no new videos recently
I'm good! This one was just 5 day ago. 😀 I try to do one a week. This one is just a bit slower because my inlaws had some Dr. appointments that changed our schedules.
I appreciate you checking on me.
hello, can i put a credit card of my friend on my account in payment method?
To make a payment, you probably can. But, as far as I know, you won't be able to use it as your primary seller's account.
@@TheChaChingKing and about recieve payment? U need to get your first sell or what ? To add your bank account?
Will I have to pay them money to be able to sell items on their website ?
eBay does charge for you to use their platform. Typically, the eBay fees will come out of the proceeds from the items you sell.
@@TheChaChingKing so I don’t have to pay them upfront first before I can list my items. They just take their fees from my account before I withdraw it. Cuz I want to start a small Apple AirPods sales for around 99$ and I don’t have the upfront fees. Thanks
The first item must be posted after a week? TY
There is no hard timeline for posting your first item. :-)
Can somebody out there help me e bay is not easy to use I have been trying for days to create a sellers account it's making me really ill now.
It's to bloody difficult.
The videos will be imperfect simply because the platform changes all the time. One minor change can trip you up.
You might be able to find someone to do an individual mentorship. I started RUclips, in part, because I didn't have the time to help people individually.
You might also reach out to eBay for Business on Facebook and let them know exactly where the problem is occurring. They may be able to get you over the hump.
@@TheChaChingKing Thanks for this I can't seem to get an angle on how this thing works. And I open up.the page and don't have the foggiest idea of what to click on. It's soo frustrating I know what I want to sell and I think it will sell, but getting over this first hurdle is mind boggling. There are so many things to click on and I don't know where to begin.
Hi
I have just create new account seller but it have suspended. I think it can suspended because i am not american. Can you help me guider?
You need to reach out to eBay for Business on Facebook. I don't have any experience unlocking a suspended account. But perhaps they can guide you. Hopefully they can tell you why it is suspended so that you can fix the problem.
Thank you for your helpful videos! Is there anything specific that needs to be set up if you are planning on running your eBay selling business with another person, such as your husband or adult son? Can you both have access at the same time in order to receive any notifications or messages that need to be handled?
Melody and I work together on the same account. Pretty much, anyone you give your password to can work on it. Mel is often logged in on her computer at the same time that I am without any issues at all.
Nice
Which documents is mandatory if i want to create new account.
You will have to supply banking information so that you can receive payments. And you will need your social security information so that eBay can file the mandatory tax reports.

Ebay will deposit it directly into the bank account you associate with your eBay account.
I have King George 1826, Quarter Parthing 1839, Q:Victoria 1851, Llincoln 1944,1982 coins for sale
Coins are fun to sell. I don't list a lot of them, but I do list a few.
How to open second store?
You just open one. eBay doesn't care how many stores you have as long as you aren't trying to bypass a ban or a block of some kind.
@@TheChaChingKing it's great to know that eBay doesn't have any restrictions. So do I need to repeat the whole process again for opening the second store just like I did on 1st time. I'm sorry for asking many questions.
If i want to start selling, i dont need to start a business account?
No, you don't. And if you decide at a later time that you do need one, you can just convert it to a business account.
Do they need social number or not
Is it legal to creat 2 seller account
They will because they have to report sales to the IRS. That's not an eBay thing, it's a government thing.

eBay doesn't allow you to buy or sell your eBay account. It's against their terms of service to transfer ownership of an account.
I wouldn't ever try it.
Can you create an eBay selling account for me?
No, sorry. I am just spread too thin to do any one-on-one mentorships of any kind. I've created the videos to try and help as many people as I can. But I just can't do individual requests at this time.
Is it a must to have a credit card to sell on ebay?
No, you do not need a credit card at all. You do have to have a bank account that eBay can make deposits to, though.
