Sorry, ebay do not change accounts back to private. In any case its not a choice. If you buy or make items to sell you have to register as a business seller.

You're in the enviable position of not having to use Simple Delivery. That's got to be a big consolation.

Everything was not OK. You were trading as a business on an account type that is for people getting rid of their unwanted personal possessions.

You are now trading legally on a business account, that has to be a good thing.

You shouldn't have been though.

At least now you're all above board and legal. eBay send sales details to HMRC anyway, so this will make accounting easier for you, plus you can offset expenses as a business seller anyway.
