Multiple Business Accounts

Hi, I would like to know how many business accounts can a seller have please? And what information needs to be changed for each account? For them to be accepted on eBay, with no problems.

Some online articles say it's okay to have multiple business accounts as long as they have a different email and username, but they can have the same bank details, contact number and address and other online articles say that all information needs to be different - IP address, bank details, contact number and address. So I'm a bit confused!! 😵💫🥴 Also some articles say it's okay to link accounts with the same information and others say don't!? 🤔

I only have a personal account at the moment but would like to set up a business account and I also have other business ideas, so would just like to understand how it works please, so I can legally set up a business account (s) with no issues.

Thank you 😊

Re: Multiple Business Accounts

I believe the maximum accounts to own are 8 but you cannot interconnect them at all.

 

They just have to have a different email address and different username ID for each.

You could (should) start by upgrading this account to a business account.

Currently, you are selling multiples of brand new items from a private account.

If you are trading (buying to sell) you need a business account.

As this account has a history of selling and 100% positive feedback, keeping this as you first business account would be a good start.
