Can't change my profile from Business account to Private account.

[gabzgoodz]

I started selling things from around the home on eBay.  I then decided to open an eBay Store.  I even registered a business name and tried to source products at wholesale prices. I changed my eBay profile to Business from Private so I would look more professional. 

Now that eBay have doubled their Store subscription fee, I have had to close it as I can not afford the fee.  I then found out I can not go back to a Private account.  And therefore do not qualify for the 30 free listings per month.  

I would have to register a new ID on eBay and have to start building my from feedback again from ZERO.

I am very disappointed as I worked hard to get to 371 feedback at 100% that I have now.

If I start again on eBay can I mention in the listing that I had another ID and what my feedback number was?

Has anyone had this experience?

Has anyone been able to get eBay to change a policy??
