Register as a professional seller on ebay.fr while living outside France
Summary: librairienoisette is a French expat living in Brazil who wants to become a professional seller on eBay, but is having trouble figuring out how to change the account type and how to receive calls from eBay on his Brazilian number. lingma85 explains that to become a pro seller, all of the company’s legal information must be provided to eBay, and advises that the registration should be done on eBay.com rather than eBay.fr, since the current information does not match French business indicators.
Hello, French expat living in Brazil, I've been selling from this country for years now. Having formalized the activity and created a company for it, I would like to switch to a pro seller on eBay. However, it's impossible to find the page "Change account type" or "Become a professional seller" on my seller account. Even worse, to contact eBay, only the option "Ask us to call you" appears, but the site offers to call me on a French number I don't have and not on my Brazilian number! Can I become a pro seller with a company number outside the EU? Thanks

Mentor1 year agoHello @librairienoisette
Being professional also means giving eBay all the legal information about your business.
Outside of France... your business must be registered on ebay.com....
- it will be automatically rejected on ebay.fr. because your information does not match the markers of French professionals.
