eBay-Basics-Course

Before you can buy or sell any items on eBay, you'll have to register first. It's a free process that takes only a couple of minutes.

To begin setting up your account, click the Register icon at the top of eBay's Home page (www.obay.com.sg). If you are registered at USA page ( www. ebay.com), you have to click at "Country" checkBox and select Singapore, since your banking account are located in Singapore. Next, enter your personal information, your name, address, contact number, and date of birth ( You need to be 18 years old to register with eBay), email address etc.

Next, Read through the user agreement and privacy policy, click the checkbox that indicates you agree with eBay's condition,and then click Continue.

The next page prompts you to create a username that will identify you to other eBay users. You can choose an ID generated by eBay, or you can create your own.

User IDs on eBay must be at least two characters long and can contain both letters and numbers. You can't have any spaces in your ID , but you can have underscores. There are some symbols that can't use :- (&, @, <, >). You also can't have the word "eBay" in the name, and your ID can't be the same as another user's. You may have to try once or twice to get an acceptable user ID, so be creative with name the reflect your trade as seller.

Then you need to enter and confirm a password that's at least six characters long.

You'll also be prompted to provide the answer to a secret question (such as your mother's maiden name) to help you identify yourself later, in case you forgt your password.

If you use an anonymous account similar to those you can create at Hotmail or Yahoo, eBay prompts you to confirm your email address. You can confirm your identity using a credit card (which won't be charged ) or by entering another email address that's linked to a less anonymous system for example, your work email account.
