Create an eBay Seller Account

In this article, we will guide you on how to create a business account which will involve creating a business seller account and a Payoneer company account. This is required for managed sellers.

However if you are an individual seller, you can choose to create an individual seller and Payoneer account.

For a business account, you will need a business registration and a company bank account. A soft-copy of these documents will later be requested by Payoneer:

  1. Business registration form
  2. Business proof of address (Bank statement, or utility bill with your business name)
  3. Representative ID
  1. Go to your local eBay site (www.ebay.com.my if you are in Malaysia), navigate to the top left of the page and click on Sign In and create an account.
  2. Choose Business account and fill up your details. Here are some details you will need to enter:
    • Business name : Registered company name
    • Business email : This email will be used for account login other than your eBay ID
    • Password
    • Business Location : Where your business is registered

Upgrade your eBay account to managed seller

Once your eBay account is ready and verified by Payoneer, you can send a request to increase your selling limit. This allows you to list more items on your eBay account. The default limit is 10 quantity and USD500 which is insufficient for most business sellers.

Send an email to hanrahman@ebay.com with your eBay ID and we will get in touch.
