As a world-renowned e-commerce platform, eBay attracts sellers and buyers from all over the world. However, due to differences in laws, regulations and market environments in different countries and regions, there are also some differences in eBay seller accounts. This article will focus on the differences between eBay Chinese seller accounts and American seller accounts to help sellers better understand the advantages, disadvantages and scope of application of the two accounts.
There are big differences between eBay US accounts and Chinese accounts. The registration time for a US account is very short, only 20 minutes, while Chinese sellers need to pass complex cross-border authentication before they can open a store. In addition, eBay US accounts do not require any authentication, and you can register and open a store as long as they are not on the blacklist. Chinese sellers, on the other hand, need to go through a cumbersome certification process before they can open a store.
For increasing sales, there are two methods for eBay US accounts: telephone application and automatic addition. To apply by phone, you need to contact an eBay customer service representative to explain your performance and apply for an increase in sales. To automatically increase the sales amount, you need the account to perform normally, have few complaints, and use the sales amount given by eBay every month. For Chinese sellers, it is almost impossible to automatically increase sales.
In terms of sales scope, the difference between eBay Chinese seller accounts and American seller accounts is that American seller accounts can sell on any eBay website, while Chinese seller accounts require cross-border certification to sell on other sites. While recent statistics show that any certified seller from any registered location can sell on any eBay site, 30% of US buyers only purchase from US sellers. Therefore, US seller accounts can expand higher quality buyers.
Finally, regarding various fees, whether it is a US seller account or other seller account, selling on eBay will incur shelf fees, transaction fees and PayPal fees. Note that these fees may vary by region and product type.
The above is the difference between eBay Chinese seller accounts and US seller accounts. eBay US accounts and Chinese accounts each have their own advantages and disadvantages. For sellers who want to enter the US market, registering an eBay US account is a good choice; while for sellers who want to sell in the Chinese market, they need to open a Chinese account through cross-border certification. No matter what kind of account it is, you need to note that eBay has very strict requirements for account registration and store opening. Users who do not meet the requirements will not be able to register and open a store.
