Setting up eBay
Before you enable the eBay US or eBay UK markets, you need to do the following:
- Register an eBay seller account.
- Set up a Premier or Business PayPal account so you can accept credit card payments from buyers.
- (Optional) Set up an eBay store or shop subscription.
Register an eBay seller account
To sell on eBay, your first step is to register a business seller account.
From What are the requirements to sell on eBay?:
- Provide eBay with a valid credit card, debit card, or bank account information.
- Let eBay know how you would like to pay your seller fees.

Important If you subscribe to eBay's Selling Manager or Selling Manager Pro, make sure the eBay automation rule that automatically relists an item is not turned on. With the automation rule turned on, eBay automatically relists your inventory outside of Monsoon Marketplace, causing unsynchronized inventory and eBay duplicates. To learn how to turn off automatic listing, see the eBay US article
Why are my items getting relisted automatically? and the eBay UK article
Listing and relisting items.
Set up a PayPal account
A Premier or Business PayPal account is required to manage your eBay orders.
Note As you set up your PayPal account, it's very important to make sure that your primary PayPal email address matches your eBay seller account email address. If the email address doesn't match, Monsoon Marketplace will not be able to communicate with your PayPal account.
(Optional) Set up an eBay Shop or eBay Store subscription
After you register your eBay seller account, you can open an eBay Store on eBay US or an eBay Shop on eBay UK.
Each eBay Store or eBay Shop subscription level has its own eBay recommendations, requirements, and fees.
