When you register as an eBay member, you have the option of registering as a business. Registering as a business enables you to add a business name to your account. Registration Overview for a step-by-step guide to the registration process.

If you already have an individual account, you can change your account to a business account.

When to register as a business

Choose a business account if you:

• Sell items that you have bought to resell.

• Sell items that you have produced yourself to sell.

• Sell a large amount of goods on a regular basis.

• Sell new things that you have not acquired for your personal use.

• Sell items as a trading assistant.

• Buy items for your busines.

If you aren’t sure whether you should register as a business or as an individual, contact your legal advisor to help determine whether you operate as a business and to learn more about your legal obligations as a business seller.

Advantages of a business account
