i need ideas how to make some interesting contents to attract buyers.

I’d say if you are a business, register as one, or do you really have over 2,500 items of clothing that were previously yours you are trying to get rid of?

To register correctly and be compliant with all rules , see here:

1. Go to Account settings in My eBay.
2. Select Personal information. 
3. Select Edit next to Account type. You may be asked to sign in again.
4. Select Confirm to upgrade to a Business account.
5. Specify whether you operate your business as a legal entity or as a sole proprietor and select Continue.
6. On the following page, enter your business information such as name, contact information, and returns policy. Then select Save.

Probably best to use a PC / laptop for this,  and not the app or mobile browser.  Chrome seems to work best on eBay.

Thank you very much for the detailed guidance. It might be handy one day.

You're welcome, and you need to have that business account now,  if you wish to sell  New items in large numbers,  or items you are buying to sell.

A Private account is one for selling used unwanted items,  such as a garage / wardrobe / attic clear out.

Bear in mind once you switch to business there no way back to return to sole trade account. i would suggest to consider more researches whats best works for you 🙂

That is correct you cannot switch back, but the rules stand that it's not to do with ' what's best for you' but if you sell all new items / items bought to sell or make or grow your items you MUST have a Business account.

As I explained above,  a Private account is used for selling those unwanted,  used  household items, toys, clothes  etc.,  all used and not needed.

You can own a Private and a Business account,  you just need a different email address for both and different username ID.

I suggest you research legal, and ebay, requirements. 

[syedshah0202]

yes i get collections from my big family around even neighbours. lol

[syedshah0202]

sorry i just put words differently but that is exactly what i meant it.

[jonatjonatjonat]

you refer to as a return to a sole trader account.

are you a sole trader then?

[svetlana_odessa]

Now I don't need a business account because I sell mostly items from my personal collection and occasionally at the request of my childhood friend, who was also into collecting. I would love our items to get in the hands of the collectors, where they will safely continue their existence.

But if everything is ok in the future, and I come up with an idea to sell something here in large numbers, I will switch it.
