Create a business account

During my business account application process, I click next, then the application page turns bank. Please advise if you experience this before. I want to complete my account creation. Thanks

Be aware that once you create a business account you can't revert to a personal account - you're stuck with it.

I don't see any benefits to creating a business account, but to the contrary you will miss out on some offers.

It's not necessary for tax purposes.

Note: Please be aware that once you've upgraded your personal account to a business

account, it won't be possible to revert back to a personal account.

Note: Your bank account will also need to be a business account

Do you have a link that shows you need a bank business account. I must have been lucky the last 13 years. Damn it hope I did not just jinx myself.

From the link I gave earlier -

Make sure that your bank account type matches your eBay account type. For example, if you have a business bank account, make sure you register as a business seller. If you have a personal account, you can change it to a business account in your account settings.

Registering as a seller

If you're thinking about selling on eBay, you can choose to register as an individual or a business seller.

If you're a registered business seller (sole proprietor or company), select Create a business account on the eBay registration page. We'll ask for some additional details, like your business name, type and address, as well as any beneficial owners and directors.
