How do I sell my Top Rated Store?

[ladymerchant13]

I have had a Top Rated, Premium Store for over 12 years, looking to sell it. Anyone know how to go about it?

[johnrj1226]

You can't sell it.

For 12 years you have just been paying rent to eBay.

Resale value zero.

[smenkveld]

You can not sell the store name and feedback number but you can sell all the inventory and supplier contact information.

Thank you smenkveld, I've researched, and even read up (from eBay) that I can exchange (with permission from eBay) my storefront, but I don't know where to sell it and my inventory.

I've only ever seen 2 reasons eBay will consent to a change of ownership for an eBay store.

One is where the seller has died and his/her heirs/estate wishes to continue to operate it.

The other is where the eBay store is part of an actual B&M business which is being sold and the eBay presence is part of that sale.

Look at best guy's user id history. They bought theirs from  a previous ebay seller

U don't actually think big businesses want to start selling on ebay with a selling limit do you? Nope they buy someone else's account.  Happens all the time

Just search ebay for ebay business for sale

I wonder if a car company would be interested in buying my eBay ID?

I need a car badly, 1st time in my life I've been without one.

They might be more likely to force you to surrender it under trademark laws.

...at which point all the Victor Williamses in the world would be filing huffy Friends of the Court petitions... 

Actually, I was thinking that you could ask VW if they'd be willing to trade you a free Diesel Golf or some such car in exchange for your ID. They've got a lot to spare these days. (Good luck with the emissions test... )

I've had the ID for 16 years, if they were going to do so they already would've.

VW stands for Value World ~ LOL

(I've never sold a car part under this ID, been tempted but have refrained from doing so)

[ymeagainlord]

keith - Most of the BIG (I mean REALLY big, not "I think I'm big") businesses here NEVER have selling limits. They cut special deals with eBay and have ZERO need to buy an active eBay "business".

ANY sale of an eBay "business" requires eBay approval and copious documentation.

My VW ID has limits ($5000 per month), my z50com ID has no limits.

Limits can be raised or removed by calling customer service.

Poor little seller... my monthly limit is 5.8 million a month.

lol  my ebay bill is 2.60... yep I had a sale of 26 bucks this month.

I could make more with a cardboard sign standing at a stop light.

Dave, be nice to my other ID or you'll hurt my big feelings. . .I'm feeling bi polar today!

[ladymerchant13]

Thank you, Keith!

Good luck to you!
