Why Should I Register?

Bid on or buy an item.
Sell an item.
Conduct a completed items search to view items recently sold, what they sold for and how they were promoted.
Access eBay's Community - with discussion boards, answer centre and workshops.

How much does it cost to Register?

Registration is free for both buyers and sellers.

How Can I Register on eBay?

Simply click on Register at the top of any eBay page and follow the easy prompts.
Enter your contact information in the fields provided. Your information will be kept private on eBay's secure servers. Be sure to enter an email address that you can check right away.
Choose your User ID and password. You'll use them to sign in to eBay from now on.
Check your email-eBay will send you a message with a link and instructions for confirming your registration.

Note: If you register using a Web-based ("anonymous") email address, such as an email address from Yahoo! or Hotmail, or an ISP that offers both a paid or free service you'll need to place a valid credit or debit card number on file to verify your identity. Your card will be used for identification only and will not be charged. If you don't want to place a credit or debit card on file, you'll need to register with an email address from a company or paid Internet Service Provider, such as Bigpond.
