			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently encountered some difficulties selling items worldwide on eBay. Whilst eBay would let me sell items within the UK, I was not able to offer postage to other countries. When I tried to offer Worldwide postage, I received the following message:</p>
<blockquote><p>Attention Seller:<br />
In order to maintain a safe trading environment, selling limits are occasionally placed on accounts. Your eBay account has been restricted from listing this item at this time until you have verified through PayPal.</p>
<p>1) To verify your PayPal account, click on your country of eBay registration below to understand how to complete that process.</p>
<p>2) If you already have a verified PayPal account, and are still receiving this message, you need to link it to your eBay account.</p>
<p>For instructions on how to become PayPal Verified or how to link your PayPal account to your eBay account, please click on the site of your eBay registration below:</p></blockquote>
<p>I proceeded to follow eBay&#8217;s instructions and followed the steps on the Paypal website to become a &#8216;verified&#8217; seller. I then followed the below steps to &#8216;link&#8217; my paypal account with my eBay account:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sign into My eBay</li>
<li>Select the &#8216;Paypal Account&#8217; link from the left-hand menu</li>
<li>Click on &#8216;Update Profile Summary&#8217;</li>
<li>Log into Paypal</li>
</ol>
<p>This should link your account to eBay.</p>
<p>After following the above steps, if you are able to offer worldwide postage, you are indeed lucky. I was not and so next tried the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Log into Paypal</li>
<li>Click on &#8216;Profile&#8217;</li>
<li>Under &#8216;Selling Preferences&#8217; click on &#8216;Auctions&#8217;</li>
<li>If your eBay account name isn&#8217;t present then add it.</li>
</ol>
<p>Unfortunately, this still didn&#8217;t solve the problem (although it may solve yours). I did some more searching around and found another possible solution:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sign into eBay</li>
<li>Go to My eBay</li>
<li>On the left hand side, underneath &#8216;My Account&#8217;, select &#8216;Addresses&#8217;</li>
<li>Click on &#8216;View all postal addresses&#8217;</li>
<li>If your &#8216;Paypal Address&#8217; is present then make that address your primary address  (Hit the &#8216;Make Primary&#8217; link on the right hand side.</li>
<li>If your &#8216;Paypal Address&#8217; is not present then you will need to scroll down to the &#8216;Add PayPal Addresses button&#8217; below the list of available addresses and &#8216;link&#8217; your eBay addresses to your Paypal account.</li>
</ol>
<p>This last solution did the trick for me and I am now able to offer worldwide postage of my items on any eBay site (US, UK, Ireland etc)</p>
<p>Hopefully this guide will help anybody else out there who has encountered this problem find a quick solution. </p>
