Can I sell my ebay store?

[unbearablebears]

Does anybody know if I can sell my ebay store?

I have tried ringing customer service and the twit on the other end of the phone says he "thinks" I can.

Has anybody done this?

or enquired about doing this?

Can you guarantee that when you update the Personal Information section on eBay with new details, eBay understands that a completely different person is now running the account, and it's not just that the account holder's personal details have changed? 

It is pretty standard for account providers to provide account holders the ability to make adjustments to their personal information...I've never come across them anywhere where they have been interpreted as a consent form for transferring an account from one person to another.

You should probably look at an ebAY store as being similiar to a Franchise being run by eBay (they allow you to use their intellectal property).  So while if using your business to run an eBay store, you can sell that business eBay has to agree to the new Franchisee using the site.  eg your business XYZ pty ltd runs a ABC Child Care centre you sell XYZ pty Ltd to new owners, they MAY need to get the agreement of ABC before they can operate the centre depending on the Franchise agreement even though its still the same company name on the Franchise.

Interesting.

However franchinsing does not apply to eBay AFAIK.  The arrangements and regulations that would apply in a franchise situation are not reflected in our user agreements nor in the general trading arrangements that are available to sellers signing up to the standard T&C.

Whilst we may sell on the eBay platform, individuals and businesses have an identity that is separate and distinct from the eBay brand.

Sorry i didn't say it was a Franchise I said you should "probably look at an eBay store as being similar to a Franchise" 

I fully understand its not a Franchise or needs to meet the Franchising Code of Conduct, however there are similarities in that a store seller (or seller in general) is using the eBay label to promote sales as opposed their own web site, and they pay a fee on unit sales, and there are strict guidelines on how a seller will conduct business on the site.

Further an eBay store is a temporary business investment involving subscribing to an opportunity to sell, not the purchase of a business ownership, and is a wasting asset due to the finite term of the subscription.  That is similiar to a Franchise.

Oh please, I've copped so many from you, been told I was "sad" upteen times, and even that I had a mental illness, so don't try to play the martyr now. 

I asked a pretty simple question, it was largely ignored, and none of my other points were addressed. I have to laugh otherwise the frustration would get to me.
