Compared to Amazon and AliExpress, eBay’s registration process is very simple. Its account types are mainly divided into personal accounts and corporate accounts. The details are as follows.
1. Personal account
Sellers only need to fill in their name, email address and password to register a personal account. Sellers can then complete a simple verification via email to successfully register. After completing their personal information, sellers can start buying or selling goods.
2. Corporate account
Sellers need to go through a lot of procedures when registering a corporate account, including filling in account information, verifying company information, binding automatic payment methods, filling in application forms and waiting for review notifications.
(1) Fill in the application form
Sellers must first fill in their company name, corporate email address, login password and mobile phone number.
(2) Verify company information
Sellers need to fill in their company’s address and contact information. Sellers’ contact information mainly includes name, mobile phone number, etc. After filling in the information, they must also complete a simple SMS verification.
(3) Bind automatic payment method
Sellers need to bind a credit card or other payment method as the automatic deduction method for the registered account.
(4) Fill in the application form
Sellers need to fill in and upload relevant corporate information. The relevant information mainly includes the company name, address, legal person identity information, business license, etc.
(5) Wait for review notification
After the seller has completed the relevant procedures, he can submit the application and wait for the review and email notification from eBay official personnel. eBay official personnel will generally process the seller’s application within 7 working days.
The difference between eBay’s personal account and corporate account is that the corporate account will provide sellers with promotional discounts and some professional tools to increase sales, allowing corporate sellers to better operate their stores. Sellers can choose according to their own operational needs.
