Hi,

I am very new to ebay and I want to list mainly on ebay.com and ebay.co.uk but I can't!
As soon as I click on "Start Selling" on ebay.com or co.uk it shows the following error.

Attention!

Thank you for participating in global trade on eBay. In order to begin selling your items on eBay sites not associated with your home country, you will need to take a few steps:

1) You will need to have a PayPal account that has been "Verified". Click on your country of eBay registration below to understand how to complete that process.

2) Once you have a PayPal account that is "Verified", please link your verified PayPal account to your eBay account.

If you already have a “Verified” PayPal account, and are still receiving this message, you need to link it to your eBay account. Once you have a verified PayPal account that is linked to your eBay account, you will be able to sell an item on any of eBay's sites worldwide.

For instructions on how to become PayPal Verified or how to link your PayPal account to your eBay account, please click on the site of your eBay registration below:

Australia | Austria | Belgium | Belgium French | Canada | Canada French | France | Germany | Hong Kong| India | Ireland | Italy | Malaysia | Netherlands | New Zealand | Philippines | Poland | Singapore | Spain | Switzerland | Taiwan | United Kingdom | United States | Other

Note: If you registered on Germany, Austria or Switzerland, you can complete verification through PostIdent or ID Verify instead of PayPal. Please click on the site you registered with for instructions.

The worst part is that my paypal account is a verified account and I've been using it for years, also I have attached it to my profile!!
I wonder what's going wrong where!!

Ironically, last week only I set up an ebay account for a friend, using his newly verified paypal and his account seems to work fine!

What I dont seem to digest is how can this happen when two accounts done through the very same procedure!

I tried contacting live chat (ebay.in and ebay.com)
ebay.in representative asked me to contact ebay.com and ebay.com asked me to contact ebay.in
when i told them that the other one asked me contact him, he started saying that your paypal must not be verified!!

i mean what crap man! what utter crap!

I have bought items from the US and UK and it would be a big waste if i cant list them on!

Also, I dont want to list on ebay.in and then make it an international listing because
1. I have bought these items from the US, with bills paid in USD.
2. they are typical items like coach bags which would hardly sell down in India!!

I am stuck! Can anyone help me here??????

Dear,
I shall go on doing .com to draw international buyers to my ebay India shop.They are now paying by PaisaPay.I am doing for ebay India.But ebay India is heartless.They dont take my simple suggestion.
I am asking to increase shipping deadline for international selling.This they dont need their boss's permission.Their hands are not tied.But their common trend is seller bashing.
Bad.Bad.
Thanx,
Truly,
Amitava
