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 just want to stop selling, you can deactivate your seller account by removing your automatic payment method and selling tool subscriptions. You'll still be able to bid on and buy items.
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:
- All your fees are paid, and your account balance is €0.00
- 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.
