Set up your seller account
Before you start selling, you'll need an eBay account. If you don't already have one, you'll need to register. You can choose between a personal or business account.
If you plan to sell casually, like selling items you no longer need or want, a personal account is the best option. Pick a business account if you want to sell large quantities, or have items that you've made or bought to resell.
To create an eBay account:
- Go to the Registration - opens in new window or tab page.
- Select Personal account or Business account.
- Enter the required details and select Register.

Once you've registered, you can start selling by:
- Selecting Sell at the top of any eBay page or going to Sell your item - opens in new window or tab.
- Creating a listing for the item you'd like to sell.
- Confirming your details and adding an automatic payment method for any eBay fees.
You may also be asked to verify your identity to keep your account secure – this could be through providing a credit card or telephone number.
