Register for eBay to manage your payments

To sell on eBay, you must be registered for eBay to manage your payments. If you haven't signed up yet, you'll be guided through the registration process the next time you create a listing. Alternatively, you can register for eBay to manage your payments by updating your account settings - opens in new window or tab.

Once you’ve registered, you can get back to selling items on eBay. Once you’ve completed registration, your item will be listed. You can also relist any items that are in your Unsold folder.

Until you complete registration, eBay may restrict your ability to list, including, without limitation, restricting new listings, restricting changes to existing listings, or ending listings.

If you use third-party tools to help manage your listings, inventory, finances, or refunds, there should be no change in how you use those tools.
