How to open a local eBay account in the United States?

EBay is an online auction and shopping website that allows people around the world to buy and sell goods online. Its main services include online auctions, e-commerce, shopping malls, and more. Established in September 1995, it has a history of nearly 27 years and is one of the earliest e-commerce websites. Nowadays, eBay has nearly 300 million users, covering over 190 countries and regions, and millions of products involving thousands of categories are sold every day.

We have 37 independent websites and portals worldwide, with major sales sites including the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, and China, supporting 23 languages worldwide. With the outbreak of the epidemic in recent years, many Chinese people have started to enter the cross-border e-commerce industry. Therefore, today, Haihaiyi will share with you how to open a local eBay account in the United States.

Registration requires:

1. Email (Gmail or Outlook email)

2. Credit cards in the United States

3. Passport

4. ID card (backup)

5. Driver's license (backup)

6. Social security number

7. Water, electricity, coal bills, etc. (backup)

8. US phone number access code

9. Clean browser cookies

If you want to register a local account in the United States, you must have a local IP address, which is the IP address in the United States. Therefore, everyone needs to use VPS to register and log in. If you use VPN, it is very unstable. If the IP address changes frequently, it may lead to abnormal situations in your account and be banned by the platform. The risk here is also relatively high.

Afterwards, you can log in to the eBay official website and enter the account registration page to register. Simply follow the prompts on the registration interface to provide the corresponding information and fill in the relevant information. Normally, if the seller meets the registration requirements and has complete information, they can complete the store registration in about 20 minutes without considering external factors.

Store maintenance:

No matter which platform you are on, there is a risk of being frozen or banned if you do not comply with the platform's rules or operate the store according to requirements. Just like the Amazon store lockdown scandal, Etsy's large-scale store lockdown, and eBay stores are naturally no exception. Therefore, after successfully registering the store, it is more appropriate to take care of it for a period of time before operating it.

Usually, after registering an eBay account, we should not consider publishing any product ideas, including auction prices, for at least a week. However, it is important to remember that after successfully registering, we must keep logging in to VPS for seven days and use a password to enter eBay. You can check some popular product information on the eBay homepage or simply check various information on the platform.

This process is crucial, and we refer to it as creating a safe trajectory because during this process, our actions will make eBay's backend monitoring believe that you are truly a local seller in the United States, rather than from other countries or regions. Browse some product information daily and upload it to Cookies, and you can also make additional purchases and favorites.

Withdrawal:

There are certain standards and restrictions for increasing sales quotas on the eBay platform, and we don't just do what we want. The restrictions are still quite high, and that's why we need to make necessary preparations before increasing quotas.

1. Searching for similar product listings

You can search for keywords corresponding to products on eBay to learn about similar products offered by other sellers. This helps optimize one's product in terms of design, attributes, and pricing. Alternatively, product discovery tools can be used to view product lists globally and provide inspiration for future exploitable products.

2. Continuously upload new listings (up to once per day)

Regular product updates not only emphasize our professionalism, but also enable our products to be seen by more potential buyers. This is because eBay's algorithm prioritizes the listing of search results based on the speed of continuous uploads.

3. Analyze and research before uploading the product

Use predictive analysis to identify the advantages of competitors. Product research provides information observations on demand levels, sales evaluations, and product prices for certain products in specific markets. In addition, conducting product research not only helps to ensure product availability and increase sales in the eBay market, but also provides us with inspiration to enter new product categories or niche market opportunities.
