eBay Seller Account Requirements

Understand the types of information and verification steps sellers may encounter when setting up and operating an eBay seller account.

eBay seller requirements depend on the seller, country, marketplace, business structure and account activity.

Getting Started

Depending on the setup, sellers may need contact details, identity information, payout information, tax information or business information.

Information eBay May Request

Verification can involve a legal name, address, phone number, government-issued identification, bank or payout information, and business documents where applicable.

Keeping Information Accurate

Information submitted to a marketplace should be truthful and current. If eBay requests documentation, use its official verification process and provide the documents requested for the actual account holder.

Before Using an Account

If you are considering an account transaction, first check whether the proposed arrangement is permitted by eBay's current User Agreement and policies.

Policy reminder: Never use false documents, impersonate another person or attempt to bypass marketplace verification.
