| To increase the security of the eBay and PayPal
community, we require sellers to confirm their identity before they
can sell their items internationally. |
| |
 |
| |
|
| 2 important things: |
| |
 |
Confirming your identity is only required
the first time you list an item. If you have not confirmed
your identity with eBay or PayPal, you will not be permitted
to list your items internationally. There are 3
ways to do this. Additionally, if you’ve started listing
an item, your listing will be saved for 30 days so you
can return and complete it without having to start all
over again. |
| |
|
|
Please note only electronic forms of
payment are permitted on eBay. This means either PayPal
or merchant credit card accounts. Learn more about PayPal.
