Register your business by clicking the 'Want to open an account for your business?' link on the registration page. If you already have a private account, you can change it to a business account in My eBay.  Go to the Account tab, and click on 'Personal Information'.

Should you register as a business?
Choose a business account if you:

• Sell items that you bought to resell.

• Sell items that you produced yourself to sell.

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

• Sell new items that you bought but don’t use personally.

• Sell items as a trading assistant.

• Buy items for your business.

If you aren’t sure whether you should register as a business or as an individual, it’s best to get legal advice.

What are the advantages of a business account?
As a business seller you can:

• Register with a company name. Your company name will be displayed in invoices, emails, and other buyer communications.

• Display contact details, return policies, and terms and conditions in your listings.

• Provide the value-added tax (VAT) percentage when selling with the Sell Your Item form. You can also provide with us your VAT identification number and receive net invoices on your eBay fees.
