If you haven't bought or sold anything on eBay before, registering to sell under your business name is a great way to build your online reputation within eBay's Community. Buyers who have a positive trading experience with sellers are more likely to buy from them again and recommend them to friends and family.

During this process you'll need to provide the following:
  • a UK address at which to receive a confirmation letter by post
  • your bank account details to set up a Direct Debit
We ask for these details as verification to help keep eBay a safe place to trade and because there are small charges associated with selling items on eBay.
