How do I open an eBay Store?

Opening an eBay Store gives you the ability to list an item in multiple quantities while only paying a nominal listing fee. As a Store owner, you’ll also have greater control over your listings and be able to fine-tune your eBay strategy.

To open a Store all you have to do is create a seller account, place a Credit Card on file and choose from one of three package options: Basic, Featured and Anchor (these have different monthly subscription fees, and often discounted insertion and final value fees for you to take advantage of).

These are the steps to register an eBay Store:

  1. Login to your eBay account

  2. Click on My eBay

  3. Click on Account

  4. Under “My Account” click Subscriptions

  5. Scroll down to “eBay Stores”and click Learn More

  6. Click on Open a Store (you’ll then be asked to enter your eBay password)

  7. Enter your Store Name

  8. Complete the registration.
