Here's what we found for "Closing your account"

Once you close an account, you can't use it to buy or sell items. You'll also lose your purchase and sales history, feedback profile, and other account information.

If you're considering closing your account due to a billing or purchase problem, please contact us so we can help.

If you still want to close your account, make sure:

  • Your Available and Pending funds is €0.00
  • You don't have any Pending payouts
  • You've resolved any suspensions or restrictions
  • You don't have any open bids

Once you submit a request to close your account, there's a 30-day waiting period for accounts without any active transactions. If there are active transactions, there is a 60-day waiting period to allow for all purchases and sales to be completed. During the waiting period, you can also ask us to reopen your account if you change your mind.

After the waiting period has passed, your account will be permanently closed and cannot be reopened. You will have to register a new eBay account with a different username and email address to buy or sell items.

Contact us for help closing or transferring the account of a deceased eBay buyer or seller.
