Hi Ebay people ๐Ÿ™‚



I'm trying to open an ebay store.



when i follow the link open a store in the stores home



i sign in and then get stoped at a page saying



"The requirements to open a store have not been met.
Please register for an eBay seller account - opens in a new window or tabwith a credit card on file. "



this is despite the fact that i have a seller account already. I already have things listed for sale under my name.



any idea whats happening ????



do i need to open a seperate user name for store accounts ?

Do you have automatic payment with your credit card set up for eBay fee?


 


Is your PayPal account verified?


 


Do you have PayPal premier account?


 


Check the requirements for store.

Just casual selling and opening store is different. There are more requirements to open a store.


 


You don't need a new ID. You can open a store with your current ID.


 


I clicked the link "seller account" in the link in my previous post and it told me, "you successfully registered your seller account!"


 


It's a bit strange that I registered my seller account 3 years ago.


 


If your requirement is met and still it doesn't let you open the store, use that ling to seller account to check what it says.

Brent, I didn't expect you sell that expensive items.


 


I don't want to put you down but I just want to let you know a few things about the store.


 


BIN items won't come up in order of ending soonest in best match. The search position will be determined by price, sales history, free postage or not and sellers DSR.


 


Items with sales histories will show up in higher position. If the sales histories are the same cheaper items will show up in higher position.


 


In your case if someone search with keyword "massager" there are nearly 3,000 items listed. Your BIN item might not be visible to buyers because most of buyers don't check over 10 pages to look for something unless they type in particular model names for search.

Your items are unique in Australia. You are the only one listed in Australia. But there are a few sellers selling the same items in US.

And their price are much cheaper than yours. You do have advantage for being in Australia if you have your items sent from Australian warehouse. Fast delivery. Sometimes speed beats price.


 


However if you are dropshipping from other country, the item might be delivered in the same time flame as items from sellers in US.


 


 


I hope you have considered all above before you made the decision.


 


For the price that high, if you can sell, store will benefit you by reducing great amount of Final Value Fee.


 


Good luck to your new store ๐Ÿ™‚

In first step, click on "credit card on file" link... then enter your credit card information. After that, you will be able to open your store.
