- Hey Michelle
- 13:13:34 Michelle Mi.
- Hello, and welcome to eBay Live Chat! My name is Michelle.
- May I please start by confirming that "[ME]" is your eBay User ID?
- 13:13:39 [ME]
- Yes that is my ID
- 13:13:43 Michelle Mi.
- Hi! How may I help you today?
- 13:13:46 [ME]
- I'm trying to sell an item using Garage Sale
- 13:13:52 [ME]
- I keep on getting this error tho -
- 13:13:54 [ME]
- "Your weekly selling activity limits have been exceeded, or the user has not registered as a seller. Please check eBay for selling requirements."
- 13:14:30 Michelle Mi.
- Have you listed an item through your eBay account directly yet?
- 13:15:29 [ME]
- No I have not
- 13:16:12 Michelle Mi.
- Thank you. Before you can use any listing tools you have to create a sellers account first. To do this you have to list at least one item directly through your eBay account.
- 13:16:26 [ME]
- I only want to sell through garage buy tho..
- 13:16:26 Michelle Mi.
- After you list the first item you can list the rest through the listing tool
- 13:16:56 Michelle Mi.
- In order to use that listing tool though, you have to have a sellers account
- 13:17:16 [ME]
- So the only solution is to make a dummy auction and then delete it?
- 13:18:24 Michelle Mi.
- No you would have to actually list 1 item to create a sellers account.
- 13:18:44 Michelle Mi.
- From there you can list the rest of your listings through the listing tool you want to use
- 13:19:02 [ME]
- There's no way around this limitation?
- 13:19:45 Michelle Mi.
- No. Before you can sell on eBay you have to create a sellers account
- 13:19:55 Michelle Mi.
- You create the sellers account as you go through the process of listing your first item
- 13:20:55 [ME]
- Can you just create the account manually
- 13:21:27 Michelle Mi.
- Yes. You do this as you create the first item
- 13:22:33 [ME]
- But this will cost me a listing fee?
- 13:23:11 Michelle Mi.
- Yes. Even if you list through a listing tool such as Garage you are still charged listing fees.
- 13:23:57 Michelle Mi.
- Any item you list on the eBay site has fees. It doesn't matter if you list directly on eBay OR if you list through Garage or another listing tool. The fees would still be the same for that item
- 13:24:33 [ME]
- Yeah, but I have one item to sell, and i want to use garagesale
- 13:25:07 Michelle Mi.
- Unfortunately unless you have a sellers account on eBay you can't list on eBay using a listing tool
- 13:25:51 [ME]
- Can i talk to a supervisor about this please?
- 13:26:08 Michelle Mi.
- One moment please I will check to see if one is available.
- 13:26:38 [ME]
- Thank you.
- 13:28:10 Michelle Mi.
- One moment please I can transfer you now.
- 13:28:15 System
- You are being transferred to another Agent. Please stand by...

- Hello, this is Peter a supervisor from eBay Australia Live Chat. I understand you would like to use Garage Sale to list on eBay but not open a seller's account
- 13:29:04 [ME]
- Yeah
- 13:29:15 [ME]
- Can you fix this for me please?
- 13:29:47 Peter A. W.
- It is required to have a sellers account on eBay if you want to list, even when using Garage Sale. You will not be charged a membership fee, only the listing fees to list that one item. If it sells on eBay, you are also charged a selling fee, but that's it.
- 13:30:13 [ME]
- But I want to make my first sale through GarageSale
- 13:30:38 Peter A. W.
- Yes, but to use Garage Sale on eBay you need a sellers account
- 13:31:08 Peter A. W.
- This is a requirement for everyone
- 13:31:11 [ME]
- Can't you just enable my account as a sellers account on your end?
- 13:31:23 Peter A. W.
- No, there is no exception
- 13:31:32 [ME]
- Ok
- 13:32:08 [ME]
- Well I only have one item to sell, and i want to sell it though consumerist... so do you suggest i create dummy auction, get slogged the auction fee- and THEN use garage sale?
- 13:33:09 Peter A. W.
- Sign up as an eBay seller, which is free. Then list the item using GarageSale. Only then will you be charged the listing fee.
- 13:33:44 [ME]
- Ok whats the URL to complete that?
