– Set up your eBay account – Create a listing on the platform – Manage or promote the listing It’s a relatively straightforward process, but if you’re new to eBay, you may need help figuring it out. Let’s break down each step for you.

Setting up Your eBay Account The first step to start selling on eBay is to create an account. Visit ebay.com and follow the steps below:

Click the “sign up” button in the website’s upper left corner. You can open a personal or business account depending on the volume of items you plan to sell. Choose “personal” (incidentally the default option) if you plan to sell items in smaller quantities or “business” if you have a larger inventory and plan to sell items regularly.

Step Two: Create a User ID or Username The next step is to create a username that will be displayed on the listing page. It is also the name potential clients will see when they contact you.

After creating your username, eBay will ask for your automatic payment method. The automatic payment method is how eBay charges you for any fees after completing a sale.
