Transfer items on retiring

At 81 I have been thinking of retiring. The problem is that I still have 2000+ items still on my user that iI wish to transfer to my son's user but I cannot find any way of doing it other than deleting them and relisting them one by one. My reckoning is 500 hours work. Does anybody know of a easier way of doing it.

Im only guessing here but under your seller hub on the top there are tabs - Click REPORTS

Try and "download" your listings which should export your listings to Excel (You would also then need to End all your listings) 

Then login to your sons account and select "upload" and select Create or schedule new listings

Ive never used this function but seems the most logical way - you may have to test it out with a few listings from the exports sheet

As yours is a business account, can't you do it the other way around and authorise your son to operate your account on your behalf? After all, many business sellers enable employees to do so.

 

I'm not sure whether there's any way to actually transfer your account to your son - I have no experience of eBay's rules for business accounts - but I'm sure the above could at least provide a fix for your remaining stock.

 

If you try asking this question on the business sellers' board you may get some more authoritative replies.

I am not sure you can transfer from one account to another, this question has arisen before. However I would say that the advice that @red_magpie says would seem the logical way forward, as your account has the followers and feedback against it. (Your son's may have too we don't know, but you will!) The only other thing I can see, and I don't know how this works is that you have the PTS logo showing against listings, which will be for yourself, I don't know how that would work if your son isn't a PTS member but using your account if that makes sense (that may involve just asking them!)
