Is it possible to sell your entire ebay store as a running concern?

[clarry100]

Just a thought at this stage.....

We wondered if when we are done with selling on ebay (some day in the future) we might want to sell the entire business lock, stock & barrell rather than simply close it down.

The new owner would take over our built-up good-will, FB scores etc including all our stock holdings.

They would just have to link in their own PayPal and bank accounts etc and off they go with a running store.

Anyone know if/not this is possible or even a good idea?

cats - I was looking for this as I had read it before and wanted to mention it was done in rare circumstances. (The J. Hoff quote)

I recalled reading something like this as well Kopes and then just got lucky in a google search

Heres the link - and for those that don't like using board links - the article is titled Think Ahead Before Selling Your Ebay Business

It is a very bad idea to transfer your paypal account to another person.

How many times have we seen on the boards where paypal had dredged up old addresses and bank accounts details that are no longer current.

You would be asking for trouble IMO.
