What are the requirements for listing an item for sale on a site other than eBay.in?

Why does eBay have more stringent requirements for listing items for sale internationally?
eBay seeks the highest level of authentication to improve the safety of trade and better protect our buyers. The ability to buy from and sell to members in other markets is an important part of the eBay marketplace. Many eBay sites have different registration requirements, especially in smaller markets. People trying to commit fraud may take advantage of these different registration requirements in smaller markets in order to sell on eBay.com and other larger sites. This initiative is aimed at creating a more level playing field, making sure that all users have gone through an appropriate level of identity checks.
If I don't want to have my identity confirmed, can I still list on eBay.in?
Yes, you can still offer items for sale on eBay.in. However, they won't be available to international buyers on other eBay sites.
Note: To sell internationally, sellers are required to offer at least one safe payment method on their listings – this means either PayPal or a merchant credit card account.
Why does PayPal and eBay ask its members to confirm their identity?
Identity confirmation increases the security of the PayPal network as well as trust & safety among the eBay community. Because financial institutions screen their account holders, PayPal's authentication process increases security when you pay or are paid by parties you do not know.

What are the safe payment requirements for sellers and what does eBay consider to be a safe payment method?
eBay requires sellers listing internationally to offer at least one safe payment method on their items. Safe payment methods include PayPal or a Merchant Credit Card account. In addition to safe payment method, sellers may include other accepted payment options on their listings. (See the Accepted Payments Policy for specific details.)
eBay strongly encourages sellers to offer payments through PayPal – PayPal is not only convenient to use, but it also offers buyers and sellers industry-leading protection against fraud, chargebacks, and theft of financial data.
How does PayPal keep my credit information secure?
PayPal never shares your credit information with third parties, including transactions made between buyers and sellers on eBay. Plus, transactions with sensitive information sent between your computer and our servers are automatically encrypted at the highest level possible. To further shield your credit card number, we do not directly connect our firewall-protected servers to the Internet. This makes PayPal one of the most secure ways to pay and get paid online.

After confirming my identity with credit card, why do I need to link my eBay and PayPal accounts?
