Ebay (UK) Business Account
 

Please help…….
I've only just discovered this forum and would appreciate some advise/guidiance -
I am new to ebay joined a month ago.

My selling limits are 100 items or up to £3,500. I'd sold about 14 items. I have around 58 items listed and got a message saying i'd exceeded the pound amount that i can list. Then it said to Request higher selling amount please call us. On clicking that link I was taken to a page with the following message -

If your account is being used for business purposes you can change it to a business account.

Since i was trying to make money and grow my ebay account - I clicked the tab that says "Change to business account" but on doing this it now says i need to provide things like business name, company registration number, Vat identification number......

My mode of operation has been as a "self employed status" and so i'm not currently set up with a company name, company registration etc.....

I'm a bit confused and not sure about the best way forward, as I do not have the information requested to operate as a business.

Should I call them and explain this to them and hopefully they can change the status back or is having a business account the way to go and if so any advise on how to go about getting registered to operate as a business asap will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thks
