I sell a few things on Ebay now and then so am I considered a "Business Seller"?

Did you give them an SSN or an EIN? An EIN (Employer ID Number) would definitely be a business.

It all depends on how you defined yourself. See this:

So according to that I have a personal account, not a business account which means that I won't be able to sell coins or currency on Ebay anymore. That's certainly a nasty little detail that the managed payment team forgot to mention.

I just got off the phone with an Ebay's managed payment associate and have some good news for people like myself with Ebay personal accounts. Starting March 9, sellers with personal accounts will be able to list coins and currency.

I suspected as much. It's a phased rollout and I was given a February 23rd date myself.
