eBay restricted my new account. Why, and how do I fix it?

I opened an eBay account to sell, but I cannot list items and it says my account needs verification. Is Pakistan blocked?

Pakistan is not blocked, but new sellers from Pakistan are checked more closely. A new account often cannot list until its payout registration is finished and the details match your ID exactly. Use the main eBay.com site rather than a country site such as eBay UK, which expects a local address and bank account. New accounts also start with low selling limits, which rise as you sell without problems. If you plan to ship from a supplier in another country, expect extra checks. Contact eBay only through its own Help and Contact pages or its official social accounts, and never send documents to anyone who messages you first. eBay's rules: https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/default/ebay-rules-policies?id=4205
