How To Get Started Selling On Ebay

Before you can begin to learn how to sell on Ebay, you should first know how to set up an account as a seller! Dont worry though, because this is a very painless process! It literally only takes a few minutes to get up and running, and I will do my best to walk you through the whole process!

First, if you dont already have the Ebay website loaded up, here is the link! Now, once the website is loaded, look for the register link at the top of the page. Click that link, and the registration for will load. The information required is pretty standard. When it is time to choose a username and password, make sure you choose something that you can remember! Personally, I use my first name, and my date of birth... example :MYNAME2214. This makes it very hard to forget!

Now, once you complete the sign up process, you will have to become ID verified. Unfortunately, Ebay charges a $5.00 fee to become ID verified, but they do this to protect both the buyers and sellers. Ebay has a long standing reputation of preventing fraud, and this is one of the ways they do it! Its only $5.00... and if you are serious about learning how to sell on ebay, this is one of the small steps that you MUST take!

To start the process of ID verification, type (or copy and paste) this link into your broswer: http://pages.ebay.com/services/buyandsell/idverify-login.html

Once you have finished the ID Verification process, you need to sign up for PayPal. PayPal is the most popular online payment processor on the Internet, and they work with Ebay to make both the buyer and seller's lives much easier! Signing up for PayPal is very easy, so I am not going to go through that process here. It is also important to become a PayPal Verified. Instructions can be found at the PayPal website!

Once you are PayPal verified, you are just about ready to start selling on Ebay! Next up on my list of articles to write for this blog is how to find products to sell on Ebay!
