We have a business account which has a lot of traction and sales. Is there a way for me to change the business name on the exisiting account.
Is this possible, all articles relating to this say that an ebay shop can't change ownership/Change Business Name

Do you mean you are hoping to sell your account as i have a feeling that it's not possible to do so ?.

In the past (no idea about now) you could change your user name. However, you would lose all feedback and sales history.

There is the facility to edit business names via account settings - business information. There is the possibility that changing you business name may prompt ebay to put you through the verification process again.

I think eBay have their own policies, but normally if a business was wanting to re-brand and change their name it could be done ( many have done it in the past and still do) by contacting HMRC, bank , suppliers, website, etc etc ... so if this is the way you wish to go I am unsure where eBay would stand on this ...
They may want you open a new account but that is unfair considering you have built your business account already on here... perhaps they can " migrate?" it? I am not sure.
I would probably give CS a call and ask to speak to those who deal with Business accounts and have a chat with them.
Edit to add
