Digital Services Act (DSA) verification
Business sellers or sole proprietorships selling to buyers in the EU Single Market are required to be fully verified before listing an item due to the Digital Services Act.
What will verification entail?
- eBay will/can verify the following:
- Phone and email
- Personal and business information
- Bank account information
How and when will the verification happen?
- The verification for new EU business sellers will kick off immediately after onboarding
- As a part of the onboarding process, new sellers on any eBay EU marketplace agree to comply with all EU regulations
- For existing EU business sellers, eBay will have until 2025 to push full verification, after which all sellers will be required to be verified
- Existing EU business sellers have agreed to eBay's User Agreement and their obligation to comply with the laws of the countries in which they sell. A statement of compliance is shown on all listings. eBay will be working with existing sellers throughout 2024 to ensure awareness of this obligation and compliance with EU laws
- For non-EU business sellers, the verification requirements will only kick into action if the user lists an item actively in an EU country. This means that the non-EU business sellers will have to navigate to an eBay EU site (e.g. eBay.de or eBay.fr), sign in, and actively list an item on the website. Upon listing, the seller will be accelerated through personal, business and bank account verification
What are the consequences of not passing verification?
- New EU business sellers will not be able to list until they have passed verification
- Existing EU business sellers and non-EU business sellers listing actively will experience payout blocks during the verification process if there is an issue with bank verification
