New eBay Account

FFHillbilly

Just opened a new account, it looks completely different to my main account. It's just going to be for selling things , at the minute I'm struggling to set up an account to get paid into, I understand that is required to get the FVF offers.
the layout of the new ebay account is not like I'm used to, is there a way to change it to the old one??

I use 3 main accounts regularly and each has an entirely different layout and view. I can’t see to make any permanent changes to the way it loads unfortunately. I can tweak all of them , move columns , show more info etc, but the main physical layout and the annoying g pre filled boxes stay however they are set, which is different on each account.

As for payments, yes you will need to set up your bank details and verify them in order to get paid. Your money is taken in by eBay , as a new seller it could be held for 21 days but then going forward it is paid out weekly on a Tuesday direct to your bank account. You can opt for daily payouts if you wish, but I actually like the Tuesday set up.

I've searched high and low and there is no way to add the bank details now. I can see the articles in the help pages that describe how to do this, but the links go round in circles and lead to nothing.  maybe I have to sell stuff first and then after 21 days I can add a bank account?

I just listed an item, once you start to list an item it asks to verify your details, verify phone number, and then add a bank account so I've done that. still not eligible for any FVF offers yet though

All you can do is switch between them , I do it regularly between my business and private accounts- you can't open 2 at the same time.

About the best way I have found is to log onto one account using the app and any others using Internet explorer. 
You only get push notifications for the account that is logged into the app .
You can manage email notifications for each account though if you want notifications from all accounts coming through to a smartphone.

Yes you can

Also,
If you use Gmail (maybe others) you don't need to set up a new email account, just use +1

Ie, if your existing email address is minnibix@gmail.com
you can register a new account with ebay using 
minnibix+1 
Or, minnibix+randomword
and it will still come through to your existing minnibix@gmail.com inbox

the whole eBay site is just do basic and stripped back compared to my other ones. Just noticed on the seller dashboard (which shows no details) it says the dashboard will become available when I sell my first item. Maybe the rest of the site will become available after then too?
