How to Become an eBay Agent
A seller on the online auction site, eBay, is known as an eBay agent. Whether you want to sell a few of your old things or start your own business, anyone over the age of 18 is eligible to become an eBay agent. Once set up, you have the option of creating auction, setting a "Buy It Now" price and setting up your own eBay store or a combination. The process can take several days, as you will need to verify your e-mail address and at least one bank account, but is not difficult. You will also need to determine how you will be paid and how you will pay fees before you can get started.
