eBay "Top Rated Seller" account for sale - 20% discount on fees

[redrumloa]

12+ year old eBay account with a current feedback score of 3322. This account is a "Top rated seller" and a Power Seller, which provides a 20% discount on eBay fees and buyer confidence. If you are looking to do serious business on eBay, this could be wise investment.

I am asking for $2,000. The transfer would require eBay approval. eBay user name would be changed to the name of the buyer's choice. If the person buying would be selling Amiga related products, I'd happily sign a multi-year no compete contract.
 
PM me here if interested.

ACCOUNT IS SOLD

Hi Jim,
 
As someone who has done business with you on eBay many times and who would trust you to the end of the Earth, I have to ask...
 
is this ethical?
 
To be honest, if eBay allows this sort of thing then I'm actually quite disgusted with them.
 
Anyway, good luck with the sale and I hope it ends up in the hands of someone who will do it justice and not a Doomy or Merlancia type.

Why wouldn't it be ethical? eBay does allow sale of accounts, with their aproval. If it was sold to someone unethical, they would lose the Top Rated Seller rating very, very fast. It wouldn't make sense for a scamster to buy it to attempt a scam. They would never recoup their investment.

Two things. First off stores change ownership all the time, actually all businesses do. If you have a favorite resturant, chances are it has changed ownership multiple times in your life. Secondly I stated the username would change, so people know they are not buying from "redrumloa".
 
So you are saying you would rather have me let 12+ years of work whither on the vine rather than get something for it? If the account goes inactive, the account upgrades dissapear.

Like I said in my first post, how would you like to buy a $2000 item from someone with a 100% rep and then find out that the person had bought teh account for $500 the week before and has now vanished with your $2000?.

It doesn't work that way, eBay would refund your $2,000 if you paid per eBay's TOS. Everything is stacked entirely on the buyer's side these days, none on the seller's side.

I know what you're saying, but real stores don't post a "reputation rating" above the door.  

At least in Alabama, restaurants are required to post their inspection reports which grades the cleanliness scores. Then you have websites like Angie's List which rate local businesses..

Trust me, any possible sale won't be funding a European vacation or put rims on some Porsche 911. It would be to pay off my credit card balance so I can keep floating along for a while.

I'm just going to miss YOU as a seller. It's always been a pleasure doing business with you.

Likewise! I was really very fortunate to have done business with so many great customers such as you. You were a great repeat customer and always a gentleman. I couldn't have asked for more:)
