What account types are available for eBay sellers to register?  

According to the different places of registration, seller accounts are divided into overseas accounts and domestic accounts. eBay has many restrictions on Chinese sellers, and overseas accounts have obvious competitive advantages over domestic accounts. If the seller's office is in China, when using an overseas account, it is necessary to use firewall software to protect the account security. Otherwise, eBay will detect that the IP used by the seller is different from the registered IP, and will ask the seller to provide the registration information. In serious cases, normal sales will be restricted.

In addition, according to the different registered entities, seller accounts can be divided into ordinary accounts and corporate merchants. Ordinary accounts can be further divided into personal accounts and business accounts. The difference between personal and business accounts is that if you want to list and sell on eBay European sites such as the German site, the seller account must be a business account. If you register a corporate account, you can apply through the green channel provided by eBay.
