Registering
on eBay is easy and free. Just click on the eBay registration banner below to see the registration form.
The process includes just a few simple steps:
Step 1: Enter your contact and personal information
Your contact information includes your name, address and
phone number. Personal information includes your date of
birth, which is required to verify that you are over 18
years of age.
Step 2: Enter your email address
You need to enter an email address that you can check
immediately because eBay will send you an email that
contains instructions on how to complete the
registration.
Important: Having a working email account is especially
important on eBay because email is used to notify you
when you've won an item and to find out shipping and
payment options from other buyers and sellers.
If the email address you entered during registration
cannot be used to verify your identity, you will be
asked to place your credit or debit card on file for
identification purposes only.
Step 3: Read and accept the eBay User Agreement and
Privacy Policy
You must accept the agreement to continue registering.
Step 4: Choose a User ID, password, and a secret
question
You’ll use your User ID and password every time you sign
in to eBay and to Half.com. Learn more about Choosing a
User ID. If you forget your password, eBay will ask you
this secret question to verify your identity before
providing your password.
Step 5: Check your email
You’ll check your email for a registration email from
eBay and follow the instructions in the email to confirm
your registration and complete the registration process.
