It was the same for me too — there was no “Edit” option under the account type. I created my account through Google SSO with my Google Workspace work account. eBay Support explained to me that I should create a new account. Very disappointing.
as @perfect-sally already wrote, you have to post an article first before you can switch your account. However, before switching, you should also have all legally required data available and maintained, otherwise it can get expensive very quickly.

·2 months agoThe 'Edit' link behind 'eBay account type' is unfortunately missing for me, how can I change the account type from private to business?

·2 months agoThat was already written here @pulchlorenzeinkauf
you first have to list an item and then you should be able to edit and change the account type.

Do you have at least 1 item online? Otherwise the switch won't work.

·11 months agoHello @soulstar690,
thank you very much for your message.
When checking in your customer account, I was able to find the option to edit it.
Go to the top left via "Hello..." once
Personal data
or use the link:
https://www.accountsettings.ebay.de/profile
Through this route, I was able to identify the field for editing the account type. Please try making the change via a PC.
@bootyooty - Thanks for the tag
Kind regards
Mia

·11 months agoWell, if you'd written that you were on the go with your smartphone, we could have responded specifically from the start 😉
So much isn't possible on a phone.

·11 months agoHey @soulstar690 are you on the go with the app?
Then maybe better to use a browser
Here in the link
https://www.accountsettings.ebay.de/profile
there is the option to choose private or business
soulstar690
OP11 months agoUnfortunately, there is also no option via browser > account type < under personal data
bootyooty
·11 months ago@soulstar690 could you possibly list an item and then check right after whether the link is there?
Good morning @mia@ebay are there any technical difficulties regarding changing the status private/commercial?
