thinking of closing my account after many years

[venus22bike]

Feel to lower costs due to buyer protection and offers are around same as as what my figure was... plus returns i don't want enforced and pay back postage and then postage to return at my loss, selling items cheap isn't worth while items going down to 1.20 to get a snatch for those watchers wanting an offer so no quick selling any longer whilst they hold on for this offer even desire this..  Need to raise thousands for home repairs and my clothes and home bits i'm scrounging around for isn't going to get this - never mind return item loss twice postage i'm so stressed with it and having a condition any stress can kill me loosing friend age 37 from this 140 days ago is making me re-think all this full-time effort, cost of parcelling supplies and collection 30p an item deducted from the few quid sale.  maybe a car-boot or another platform more rewarding???

You need to do what you feel is best for you, but I'd leave your account open in case you do want to buy anything, or decide to sell again in the future (if you close the account you'll need to start all over again and will lose your high feedback score, which is good provenance for potential buyers).

Thank you, i may keep it for buying being disabled, but i feel i need to slowly wind down selling to stop as it not paying off for me and don't feel i'm the one in control like cancel an item i can't find or pay return postage for full refund they want post back when i'm on Universal Credit getting no help leaving me in the red with the bank for bills too much risk and always in buyer favour even thought items are few quid and my packaging materials come from this too xx

With the buyer protection and buyers only commiting when less than 3 quid because of this, plus me paying packaging and 30p per item collected being disabled makes me at a loss and so sad to sell when i struggle with items £1.20 being cheap enough for buyers, also ebay controlling returns when i can't afford double postage for any.. i would rather refund item amount as would be at major losses post and return post out of my single benefit i can't get food bank help or council help due to my circumstances, I feel it is making me worse off but will buy being disabled needing online shopping but struggling to justify selling at my costs from my living basic benefits so sad private sellers treated like businesses now there is no reward I'm currently in large debt now escalating due to low give aways and owe builder work men, how does it help when not helping x
