I know it is unlikely, but it's not impossible. Bigger companies than eBay have fallen, dissolved or just stopped operating.
or even on a smaller scale, if eBay stopped you (as an individual) trading tomorrow.
Some sellers rely on the income derived from their eBay Selling accounts, perhaps not realizing, that they have no lease or guaranteed length of future tenure and no guarantee that they will even be trading next week.
I doubt that a bank would lend money based on income derived from eBay unless it was atatched to a B&M store, but even then, could not see them giving too much credence to those sales.
And the reality is, that you have very little to sell, just the cost price of existing stock, no lease, no fixed assets such as a building, no intangible assets, no transferable goodwill and no transferable reputation.
When you look at it like that, it's not really a very stable or reliable source of income, is it?

Yes... 😄
But I haven't been game enough to test the theory, and I don't want to spoil it for everyone else if it changes how files are uploaded and named.

Just going back to the bank loan discussion, every loan is assessed for risk and if the loan is approved then the interest payable and the length of the loan reflect the risk.
Very high risk loan = very high interest and short duration
Very low risk loan = very low interest and long duration.
Of course some of these loans can be negotiated at the individual level but the above used to be the general rule.
