Changing a personal account to a business account

[yole56]

Hiya guys I've been selling on eBay for a few months now with a personal account. I'm trying to make the switch to a business account. I've looked and I don't have the option to do so under account settings then personal information. Looking online it says it's because I haven't added a payment option which is strange because I set it up months ago when I first started.

Any advise or ideas is greatly appreciated

You need to use a web browser, not the app, to do this.

Go to your Personal Information in your account and to the right of Account Type, which will be showing as 'Individual'  you'll see an Edit option.
