THE most important step in posting your finished ad is one eBay (in their wisdom LOL) don't advise you of.  You have to request a 4-digt code by SMS and enter it to "authorise" your ad before you can post  it.

That's a new one 😮 (I can honestly say I haven't ever had to do that, not for listing an item anyway - I've had to verify my account that way in a couple of other circumstances, though).

If you have a verified PayPal account, or valid credit card (or something like a Visa debit card) and link it with your eBay account, it acts as account verification for eBay and you may find the instances where you're asked to do that become few and far between. 🙂
