Create A Store for Employer

lynne30100 — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:41:12 GMT

I have an eBay account already and have been asked to create an eBay store for my employer. Can I do this through my existing account or do I have to create a new account?

If it was me I would create a whole new account with your employers details.

This is your personal account and as such you are responsible for what happens on it, now and in the future 🙂

or better yet, get your lazy employer to do it themselves

If your employer is paying you to set up a store do it. But NOT on your account.

Otherwise do it yourself buster.

I agree, you could regret this down the road. do it in his name and address and set it up from his computer as well. you can acess the account from any computer anyway because you would be liable.

As stated above. Do not use your own account. Set up a separate account for your employer. Don't in any way link the two accounts.

Good luck!

Make sure also that your employer opens his own Paypal account and gives you his bank account details for direct debits. Do NOT under any circumstances use a bank or Paypal account which is in your own name, and the same applies to the credit card which will presumably be attached to the Paypal account and eBay selling account.

Thanks again. I've got it sorted now. Have created the new account and next step is to create the store - all in his name and with his banking details. Now to remember how to incorporate html into the wysiwyg editor to create a store theme but that will be for another thread 🙂

I did the same - the benefit of letting them use my account was of course the feedback starts, and of course the years on ebay. However, my employer also happens to be my sister!! lol
