Auction Registration

Setting up Your eBay Seller Account

eBay has sister sites in many countries, I would encourage you to first sign up with the eBay site relevant to the country you live in. For example, I live in the UK so I would register at bay.co.uk, for Australia you would register at ebay.com.au/ and for America you would register at eBay.com.

For ease we’ll use eBay.com as an example of setting up an eBay seller account. First things first, you actually need to go to eBay. In the top right hand corner you’ll find some menu options listed, Buy, Sell, My eBay, Community, and Help. You won’t be needing those options just yet.

In the top left hand side corner you’ll find the eBay logo with “Welcome! Sign In or Register. You’ll want to click on the the register text. This will take you through to the registration page.

The registration page is an easy to fill in form requesting such details as your name and address, telephone number(s) etc. It goes without saying that you need to enter the correct information into these fields.

Go with a proper names and not “mickeymouserocks” or “sexybabes123″

The second section will ask you to create a “eBay user ID and password” so that you can log-in in future and will also displayed on your sales listing, feedback, forums and other eBay pages. From here, select an eBay ID of your choice. If you’re thinking of operating your own on-line store or you want to link it to an offline business then it will probably be best to make your ID similar to your offline business, i.e. ABC textiles could be abctextiles123 as your user id. This directly corresponds to your offline business name.

However, if you’re an individual and you want to start selling the odd item, then you can make up your own user ID here (just make sure it’s non-offensive). If you know in advance that you’re going to be selling items on eBay and want to be taken seriously, I’d advise you to go with a proper names and not “mickeymouserocks” or “sexybabes123″. I can guarantee you that your listings won’t be taken seriously.

You need to choose a password. I would advise using a brand new a different password to what you normally use here. If you use a password you ALWAYS use, then your eBay account will be very easy to hack into. So choose this wisely. A combination of letters and numbers make quite strong passwords.

The Secret Question:

You will then be asked to pick a secret question like mother’s maiden name or pet’s name.Select a question that you know the answer to without even thinking. This is a further security question just in case you lose some log in information in the future. This may be years down the line and in this instance, choosing a question that is very easy for you to answer without even thinking about it is the key here.

The last section is asking for your date of birth. Simply enter the correct details in the drop down menus.

Make sure you fully read the user agreement and privacy policy, confirm you are over 18 years old and click the register button.

Check Your Email For a Confirmation Message

You’ve now completed a simple process of Setting Up An eBay Seller Account. You’ll need to check your email for a confirmation message from eBay that will verify that it was actually you that filled in the form and no someone trying to scam their system.

Before you can start selling on eBay I believe you need to purchase around 10 items and have a PayPal account linked to your eBay account. This is something I’ll discuss in a different article and way to speed up this process which is completely legal.
