I've seen it reported in a few random places that to attach an account to social media one of the important requirements is that you have to have an eBay for Business account. The link attached seems to substantiate this. Going by the side tabs a business account it created via Google, Facebook or Apple. It may also be done via Instagram but that is NOT specified. It might be EXTREMELY helpful if this IS a requirement it should be clearly explained prior to a user attempting.
Top Takeaway
To open an eBay account, you only need a few details such as your contact address, phone number and email address. To open a business account, you'll need to provide other information, including the business type, name and address.
Business account is best suited for registered business entities or sole proprietors who intend to sell on eBay as a company. Business accounts offer several benefits: A variety of options to manage your listings, returns and shipping.
As a side note I was unable to confirm if there is an easy to way to convert a personal account to a business account WITHOUT losing a sellers history and feedback. I've personally never attempted or done any further research. There "could" be substanial costs involved to do so.
This is what displays on my account settings page. Link attached
