What are the requirements for applying for an eBay sub-account? How to apply?

eBay is one of the cross-border e-commerce platforms. Its development can be said to be quite good. More and more merchants are opening stores here. If merchants want to better manage their stores, they can create sub-accounts. What are the application conditions for eBay sub-accounts?

If you want to make a big splash on eBay, it is recommended to register as a business. There are many benefits to registering as a business. When your store is doing very well, you can apply for a sub-account on the platform, which will enable merchants to quickly expand the scale of their stores. If merchants still want to create a personal account, they will have to maintain the account.

The purpose of merchants maintaining accounts is to increase sales and accumulate positive reviews, so it is very important to choose the right products at this time. You should know that if a newly applied account on eBay does not place orders, the eBay platform has the right to reclaim the account. When choosing products, try to choose products with good quality, products that do not require descriptions of product sizes, products with relatively low prices, products with relatively light weight, and products that do not infringe copyright. It is best to choose products that are relatively popular.

In terms of logistics, the delivery range can be set to global, which will increase the order rate and provide more exposure opportunities for the products. Therefore, merchants need to understand the logistics conditions of each country or region and try to avoid negative reviews. It is generally recommended that merchants start with the US market and choose E-Packet.

E-Post charges 7 yuan per item. If the item exceeds the weight by one gram, it will be charged 0.08 yuan. Items below 5 pieces will be charged 5 yuan each, and there will be no service fee for more than 5 items. If the merchant mails an item weighing less than 60 grams, the shipping fee is about 12-17 yuan.

Carrying out logistics can minimize the negative reviews of logistics, and it is also fast to maintain the account. When merchants are maintaining accounts, they cannot hold the mentality of early profits, and they must be prepared for losses. What you need to do is to try to increase the sales volume of the goods.

The success rate for sellers to register a Chinese corporate account on eBay is generally very low. It is difficult to register an account with a limit of 200 items, and even many account service providers cannot do it.

If you register with 10 sets of information, there may be 1~2. Therefore, the cost is high and the market is out of stock. Even if you register, there are still limitations such as too few SKUs that can be published, a single product category, and logistics at the place of shipment, which is not easy to use.

Another type is a Chinese corporate account with a quota of 3,000 items. Account service providers usually sell it in the form of 1 main account + 1 sub-account, with a price of around 15,000 yuan, which makes many small sellers retreat. In addition, the account cycle is about 3 weeks, so it needs to be booked in advance.

Although the price is high, it is not a problem for the local tycoons who sell it. Ultimately, the price of the account has become a class barrier for sellers. The rich get richer, and the poor can only do what they want.

Since Chinese accounts are difficult to register or are expensive, sellers have turned their attention to accounts with foreign data. Many accounts with American and British data on the market have been sought after.

This type of account can be purchased for a few thousand yuan, and there is no category restriction or logistics restriction on the place of shipment. The SKU is generally 1,000 pieces, and the traffic weight in the local area is relatively high. The display effect is different because it is an overseas account. The only inconvenience is that you need to use a vps to log in to the local ip, and you cannot bind to PayPal in mainland China, but you can bind to PayPal in Hong Kong.

There is also a type of account with star reviews that is nurtured by account service providers over a month or so. In theory, this type of account is the most stable account.

However, since the review rate of real sales is around 25%, an account with 21-star reviews needs to sell at least 100 products. Since the commission, labor and time costs charged by the platform are very high, many service providers make star reviews in a short period of time by making up orders. Such accounts are unstable in the later stage and may be frozen.

Theoretically, there is no limit, but it is not recommended to open multiple accounts, because these accounts are interrelated, and a problem with one will affect other accounts. In addition, if the account does not have a customer manager, some problems may not be handled.

In the above content, we share the application conditions of eBay sub-account. Merchants can learn more about it. After applying for this sub-account, you can manage the account together with your employees. If you are worried about security, you can set some basic permissions for the sub-account.
