Create A New Payoneer Account

(Skip this step if you have an existing Payoneer account)

• On the Payoneer sign-in page, select your type of business as “Company” and enter your business details.  The “Business Entity” can be “Sole Proprietor, Company /Business, Partnership Firm, Trust & Foundation, Limited liability partnership(LLP)” as available in the drop-down list (Note that this information needs to match with your eBay registration information).
• Enter your business contact details
• Fill in the required fields under the tab for “Security Details”. These relate to your password, security question and business ID.

• You will be required to log in with your eBay credentials, i.e. eBay username & password.

Now it’s time to get your eBay and Payoneer profiles synced. 

• eBay will pull in your profile from Payoneer and update your eBay account with this information (i.e. Business name, Entity type, Registered address, ID type, ID number, Issuing country of ID, Authorized representative name, Date of birth and Nationality as entered on the Payoneer site).

• You will now need to add a credit or debit card on file to pay for fees/outstanding amounts owed to eBay/process refunds in case your payment account does not have sufficient funds. 
• Click on “Edit” to update your billing address

Please note that card details are confidential. No employee from eBay or its authorized service provider will ever ask for these details. Do not disclose your card details to anyone for security purposes.

In the same step, you will now need to add your tax (GSTIN) and IEC information.

• If you don’t have the latest GSTIN & IEC certificate, you can download from the government portals now

• Just a few steps more to complete registration. Click on the “Submit request” button to proceed.

• Upon successful submission, you will see the message stating “Your registration information has been submitted”
• Now you need to wait for your Payoneer document verification to be completed

Once your registration information has been submitted, you need to now  complete the Payoneer document verification. You will be notified by Payoneer about this process through an email on the email address you have provided. 

• Make sure you are ready with the following documents:
• Visual Identity (any one of the below)
