Downgrading from a business account to a personal account

[joybellelondon]

Hi there, I want to downgrade from a business account to a personal account as my ebat orders have fallen off a cliff.  I know this isn't possible so just wondered if anyone had any advice on how to manage this situation?  Can I close the business account which is costing me £32 a month and download all my woocommerce products into a new personal email account without any issues?  The reason I opened a business account was because I was selling big brand makeup but now I sell jewellery so can't see any real need/benefit of paying £32 a month wit limited sales.  Thanks in advance for the help.

eBay don't change business accounts back to personal.    If you are buying or making items in order to sell them you have to use a business account.    To sell your own personal stuff you can open a new personal account.

Having a business account doesn't cost anything unless you have active listings - i.e. business sellers have to pay to list. The £32.40 is your shop subscription (£27.00 + VAT); if you have more than 90 listings a shop subscription works out cheaper than the "standard" listing fee of 36p (30p + VAT) per listing. If you end all your listings and cancel your shop subscription you will have no monthly subscription fee to pay. That way you will at least keep your feedback and selling history if you ever decide to return to selling via eBay.
