    @w5th_37 

    At my age I think in generations. Two generations ago I did Ebay buying, but then I think they wanted yearly fees so I quit.

     eBay has never charged a yearly fee.  Are you thinking of Amazon Prime?

     

    If I go to a company on the internet to buy something they seem to want to put ebay as a "guest" for me to buy it. I think that is where the "account" came from that I did not want to create and don't have a password to close."

    I don't quite understand this.  You don't have to create an account on eBay; you can buy as a guest.  Other companies on the internet from which you wish to buy, wouldn't have anything to do with eBay.

     

    If you are referring to your age, there are multitudes of both buyers and sellers on eBay who are in their "upper years" and are still active at buying and selling (myself included).

    Thank you all for the replies.

    My age has slowed me down and I have income expiring soon. I don't want to owe anyone.

    At my age I think in generations. Two generations ago I did Ebay buying, but then I think they wanted yearly fees so I quit. If I go to a company on the internet to buy something they seem to want to put ebay as a "guest" for me to buy it. I think that is where the "account" came from that I did not want to create and don't have a password to close.

    Again, Thank you for the concern.

    Stay safe and happy.

    Pat

    Sorry about your age issues.  At almost 92, I can relate.

    But I don't believe eBay has ever required "yearly fees" from buyers or sellers.

    Best of luck to you.

    Care to expand on your message? First off, we don't have the authority to delete you.

    Secondly, there is no upper age limit for having an eBay account and how would eBay know your age anyway?

    Never mind. I see that you're looking at the age of the account. 

     

    @soh.maryl looked at the OP's first community post.

    um..........

    no bother, but no one here can delete your account.

    This is just a forum of folks who discuss stuff on ebay.

     

    I truly believe no one is too old for another account to buy or sell on ebay.
