For this just log in to the customer account and go to the customer account page. There you will see a new option on the sidebar as becoming a Seller.

Become Seller from Admin side

There may be a case where Seller is unable to find the Seller option or not available at a particular time. Then admin has the option to register the customer as a seller. Just log in to the admin panel and go to Customer > All Customer. Create or edit the customer. There you will see a new tab as "Become a Seller".

All the Above explained ways to Become seller are the same. It doesn't mean that if the seller is registered by one or another way then it will have priority, that is not the case. Admin will always have the power to disable any seller at any point. The auto-approval of the seller is also there. For setting option set by admin go to admin > Marketplace > Configuration > General Configuration > Seller Approval Required. If this is set to Yes the after Seller registration, an admin always has to approve the seller, if this option is set to No then the seller can just start adding their products and start selling their products on the website instantly.
