Ebay FAQ

If you have a PayPal account, you can use it to pay for your items on eBay. You can also link your PayPal and eBay accounts so you don’t need to enter your details each time you pay at checkout. To pay with PayPal, select PayPal as your payment method at checkout and enter your account information.

Personal Accounts will display both your name and email address to buyers. A Business account has all of those features and more. With a Business Account, buyers will see your business name and business email address – they would only see your name if it was the same as the business name.

• Confirm the email address associated with PayPal.
• Update the expiration date or billing address associated with your credit or debit card.
• Confirm your credit or debit card so we know you’re the card owner.
• Go through a security check so we can confirm your identity.
• Resolve a limitation placed on your account

• On the Items tab, click the flag of the international site you want to set a different price.
• You’ll enter that site’s mass edit page.

Every international eBay site has its own category tree. They are mostly the same, but differences can occur. It is most likely that eBay has picked the most fitting category for your item. For example, on ebay.co.uk, women’s sneakers are listed as Clothing, Shoes & Accessories > Women’s Shoes > Trainers, while on ebay.com they’re listed as Clothing, Shoes & Accessories > Women’s Shoes > Athletic Shoes.

When you post a listing via eBay, the exchange rates for regional sites are recalculated by Google Finance. In this case, if the exchange rate is changed, the price is recalculated automatically (the price in italics will not be recalculated).

At the same time, you can set the price of items in the currency of a regional site by yourself. Keep in mind that if the price is set manually, it will remain fixed and will not be recalculated when the exchange rate changes.

Legal restrictions on each regional eBay site can be found in Help & Contact department of the proper regional eBay site.

This way, eBay enforces the eBay duplicate listing policy which states that an item can only be sold in a given country on a single regional eBay site. Automatic exclusions protect your account from being blocked and prevent the buyers’ search results from being filled with multiple copies of the same listing in different languages.

An item showcase is a list of all items available for sale via eBay listings on a given international site. Showcases are created automatically upon listing creation. Therefore, all items that are available for sale will be included in the international site’s showcase.

This is an account-based limit. New sellers have a 10  item selling limit with a total value of $500 per month. This means that, during the month, you can sell no more than 10 items for a total of $500. This is the standard limit for all new eBay sellers.

Your eBay pricing should look at more than just making a profit. Make sure your pricing includes the cost of packaging, the products themselves, and the time spent. You spend a lot of time and money to get products to customers, so include these costs in the final sale price so you recoup them.

In most cases, you can’t change the listing duration or format. For example, you can’t change a fixed price listing to an auction listing. If you’d like to sell a different item, you’ll need to create a new listing for the item, instead of editing an existing listing.

Adding a subtitle to your listing can increase buyer interest by providing more descriptive information about In the Describe your item section, enter your text in the Subtitle field. Additional information about what you’re selling (for example, the brand name, artist, designer, accessories, and options).

The listing that was published via eBay, can be removed for several reasons: it violates one of eBay policies; it violates eBay regional site policies where you were going to post it; the item’s rights owner (for example, Coach or Louis Vuitton) asked us to remove it.

On average, it takes up to 15 minutes for the listing to appear on an international eBay site; however, it may take up to 24 hours if you list more than 100 items across multiple international sites.

If the item was not listed after this time period, check:

• Whether you have clicked the Sell button (if not, click it)
• Whether you have reached your sellers limits (if you have, contact the eBay Customer Service via Help & Contact)

In this case, you will only turn eBay off, all your listings will remain active.

Once a listing is deleted, it is gone for ever with no possibility of recovery. Another alternative is to Archive the listings. Archiving makes the listing sort of invisible EXCEPT when you explicitly want to see them. Archived listings can be Unarchived but a Deleted listing can’t be Undeleted.
