it requires credit card when registering an ebay account,not seller account

[kevinxu]

when i registered ebay accounts,sometimes ebay requires credit card when i just register a normal account,not seller before the step of confirm email,but sometimes ebay doesnt require.

what's the reason?

Depends on your email host. Which ones have you used? Free ones requires cc verification.

[kevinxu]

i all used hotmail.but the problem is sometimes ebay asked but sometimes not,do you think its because of email addresses?but i always use hotmail

[Chris Hanson]

why do it matter? You will have to use a credit card anyway for a sellers account right?

[aspkin]

That's odd. I created a account the other day using gmail, and eBay didn't ask for a CC.

[jonathanmr]

Thats odd, i always get away registering without cc on ebay uk. When it comes to SELLING then yes, must add cc

yeah that usually happens if you want to get around it change it form personal account and make it business while regestering...it worked for me

When paying ebay fees can you use a visa/mastercard Gift card to pay the fees?

When I signed up for the new accoutn they wanted a drivers license number to verify the account or a credit card to verify the account...Someone please reply to this.....

I am assuming that you can sign up and pay fees with the gift cards as well as having the card for verification?

Also, how about buying a domain name that gives you free email addresses and then use those addresses to register the account? The domain is like $10/yr and if it sounded like a legitimate business name, it might slide through quicker than a hotmail,etc account. Of course you would have to forward that to another account because all it is is a forwarding address.
