INTRODUCTION
You may have heard your friends talking about all the amazing
bargains they have found on eBay. You may have also heard how
other friends have sold a lot of their unwanted items from around their
house on eBay and obtained some welcome cash to help towards a
holiday or other special treat. Perhaps you have also heard of a friend
or two who actually trades on eBay for a living buying things wholesale
and selling them on eBay for a profit.
Perhaps you feel that you would like to try out eBay for yourself and
have excitedly had a look at the eBay website but have been put off by
the account opening process. Your friends have also told you that they
pay for the items they buy, and receive payment for items they sell,
using a service called PayPal but you haven’t got any idea how to open
a PayPal account and am too embarrassed to ask them. They have
also talked about how important it is to become “PayPal Verified” but
haven’t a clue what they are talking about.
Well, help is at hand! In this Guide I will show you through simple,
illustrated, steps how to open both an eBay and a PayPal account and
how to get verified. So grab yourself a coffee, put on some relaxing
music, and let’s make a start opening your accounts!
NOTE: This Guide takes you through the entire process of opening
an eBay account and a PayPal account so by the time you finish this
Guide you should be ready to start buying and selling on eBay.

How To Open an eBay & PayPal Account

STEP 1
CHOOSE YOUR COUNTRY
The eBay website you choose to use to open
your eBay account should be the one which
covers the region in which you live. This ensures
the website you see uses your local currency and
language and you can link it to your local bank
account. Once you have opened your account
you can buy items from ANY eBay website.
eBay is an international company with websites in many countries
around the world and each country has slightly different procedures for
opening an account. In this guide I will concentrate on opening a UK
eBay account (as this is where I personally live) so the screenshots
may not exactly match what you will see... but they should be
sufficiently close to guide you through the process.
As I mentioned in the yellow box above; it is important that you open
your account using the eBay website in the country nearest to where
you live. This will ensure that you see the website in your local
language and see auctions in your local currency. However, once you
have opened your account using your local eBay website you can buy
items from any eBay website you like.
To see in which countries eBay has websites go to my links webpage:
www.MySecretWholesaleSource.com/useful_ebay_links.html
This will take you to my webpage which currently looks like this:

Near the top of this page you will see I have put two eBay banner
adverts. These two adverts (the first [1] is so you can search for items
on eBay and the second [2] is so you can open an account) should
automatically detect the country you live in and take you to the
recommended eBay website for your location.
My USEFUL EBAY LINKS webpage (mentioned on the previous page)
has useful eBay links for UK and USA residents and, at the bottom of
the page, I have included links to the other eBay websites scattered
around the world [3].

STEP 2
GO TO YOUR LOCAL eBay SIGNUP PAGE
If you live in the UK you can go direct to the eBay UK Signup page by
going to:
www.MySecretWholesaleSource.com/eBayUKsignup
If you live in the USA you can go direct to the eBay US Signup page by
going to:
www.MySecretWholesaleSource.com/eBayUSAsignup
If you live in neither the UK nor USA I suggest using one of the links
below to go to the eBay website in the country nearest to where you
live:
eBay AU
eBay BE
eBay CA
eBay ES
eBay FR
eBay IN
eBay IT
eBay NL
www.MySecretWholesaleSource.com/eBayAU

If you are not in the UK or USA and so have used one of the 8 links
above then once on your local eBay homepage click on the REGISTER

STEP 3
START THE SIGNUP PROCESS
I have shown a screenshot of the current eBay UK signup page below.
I know the picture is too small to read; I just want to show you it’s
general layout before we start getting into detail:
DON’T PANIC! Let’s go through this form section by section:
Copyright ©2009 by My Secret Wholesale Source. All Rights Reserved.
Visit www.MySecretWholesaleSource.com for eBay tips and to discover how to source stock at wholesale prices.
How To Open an eBay & PayPal Account
7
THE NAME & ADDRESS SECTION:
This section is fairly self-explanatory but there are a couple of points
to bear in mind:
Name and Address
These details need to be the same as shown on your bank account to
save complications later on.
Primary Telephone Number
Enter your Area Code in the first box and number in the second box.
Make sure this is a landline (not a mobile) and that you have access to
the telephone when signing up (i.e. don’t type in your daytime work
telephone number if you are signing up to eBay at the weekend while
you are at home). The reason for this is that eBay will make an
automated call to this phone number during the signup process to tell
you a PIN number to type into your computer to confirm your identity.
If you enter a telephone number for a phone you do not have access
Copyright ©2009 by My Secret Wholesale Source. All Rights Reserved.
Visit www.MySecretWholesaleSource.com for eBay tips and to discover how to source stock at wholesale prices.
How To Open an eBay & PayPal Account
8
to then your identity check will fail as you will be unable to answer the
phone and write down the PIN number you are told.
Email Address
Make sure you type your email address in correctly and that you have
access to this email account when you signup as eBay will send you an
automated email containing a link you must click on to confirm your
email address.
THE USER ID & PASSWORD SECTION
Your eBay User ID
The name you type in this box will be your username that everyone
will see when you buy and sell items. It will be your ID seen by the
whole eBay community. It is therefore worth taking some time to
choose a unique name you will be happy to become know by. The ID
can contain numbers as well as letters but no symbols and must be
unique within the entire eBay community. It is the fact that it must be
unique which can cause you problems as you may find all the best
choices of ID are already taken. I suggest typing in your first choice of
ID then clicking on the CHECK AVAILABILITY button to see if it is
available. If it has already been taken then eBay will suggest some
alternatives as shown in the screenshot below:
Copyright ©2009 by My Secret Wholesale Source. All Rights Reserved.
Visit www.MySecretWholesaleSource.com for eBay tips and to discover how to source stock at wholesale prices.
How To Open an eBay & PayPal Account
9
You can choose one of the suggested alternatives or simply type
another choice of your own. You may have to do this several times
before you discover an ID you like which is available.
When you finally find an ID that is not already taken eBay will tell you:
Your Password
You need to think up a password to protect your
password must be 6 characters or more and be
and numbers. You can also include some special
avoid using single words that can be found in a
information such as your name or phone number,
such as “abc123”:

Secret Question
If you forget your password eBay will ask you a Security Question so
you can confirm your identity.
When you click on the Security
Question box a list of questions will appear:
Choose whichever one of these questions you like and then type your
answer into the Secret Answer box:
Date of Birth
Enter your date of birth in these boxes. Note that you must be over
18 to open an eBay account:

How To Open an eBay & PayPal Account

STEP 1
GO TO YOUR ACCOUNT OVERVIEW
If you only want to buy things on eBay then there is no need to
register both a Credit Card and Bank Account with PayPal as you can
PayPal can use your Credit card to pay for purchases. However some
people do not like Credit Cards and prefer to pay for purchases by
drawing money out of their Bank Account instead. Also, if you intend
selling on eBay, then you will need to register a Bank Account so you
can withdraw the money you receive as PayPal will only let you
withdraw money into a Bank
Getting your PayPal account verified also lifts sending and withdrawal
limits.
To start the Verification process click on the GET VERIFIED link on your
PayPal Account Overview page:
This will take you to the GET VERIFIED introductory screen:
