Which of our sellers do you identify with most?
Congratulations, your eBay seller account is ready! What's next? Surely you want to list your entire inventory of items and start selling as soon as possible. This can be easy if you have just a few items. But what if you have dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of them, and they have different variations — in size or color, volume or power, etc.?
eBay has solutions for uploading and managing catalogs of any size or complexity. And even if you start simple, you can learn more as your business grows.
Meet some of our sellers: they live in different countries, are passionate about different things, run businesses of different sizes, and all of them have won eBay Exporter of the Year awards in different years.
Choose the seller whose inventory size is most similar to yours, and learn how they list their items. Let's get started!

She could not work full-time due to her motor disability, and, after her mother got seriously ill, she began to look for a way to generate more income from home. Angelica recalled her passion for collecting Back to the Future items, Pokemon and Nintendo amiibos since 2008 — and decided to sell them on eBay. Now Angelica dedicates 100% of her time to her eBay Store and is constantly expanding her catalog.
