Apply for a second seller account
You may be eligible for a second seller account if you want to grow your brand, run multiple shows, or sell in another category.
To qualify, you must meet all of the following:
- Have lifetime sales over the equivalent of 100,000 USD in your local currency before fees or more than 1,000 orders
- Have hosted at least 10 shows in the past 30 days
- Maintain a seller rating above 4.8
- Not be on a second offense in any category under our What Actions We Take guidelines
If you meet these requirements, contact Support to apply.
If you don't meet them, any applications for a second seller account won't be approved.
Note: Early Payout doesn't transfer between accounts. You’ll need to earn it again on any new accounts.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Can I merge multiple accounts into one?
No. We don’t currently support merging accounts or transferring data.
Why don’t I see the Account Switcher on my profile?
It’s currently rolling out on iOS and isn’t available on Android or web yet. Make sure your app is up to date, and check back soon.
Does this allow someone to enter giveaways multiple times?
No. Multiple entries aren’t supported. You must be present in the show when the giveaway happens. If you switch accounts on the same device, your previous account leaves the show and is removed from the giveaway.
