How to delete an eBay account quickly and easily forever

What you should know before deleting your eBay account

There are six basic things to keep in mind before permanently deleting your account:

• To delete your eBay account the account balance must be zero and you cannot have transactions in suspended o open disputes; because you will not be able to delete your account until you have resolved these details. If this is the case for you, we recommend that you log into the Resolution Center to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
• If you have an active suspension or restriction on your account by eBay, you will need to contact the company to close your account. Even if you haven't met the seller's performance standards, eBay does not allow you to close your account until you contact them.
• If the reason you want to close your account is because you no longer want to be a seller, you don't need to delete your account. eBay allows you to remove the payment method and cancel sales subscriptions from your profile so that you can continue to use your account without needing to be a seller.
• If you want to delete the account because the owner has passed away, you need to contact eBay.

• When you request closure of your account, you can no longer log in to buy or sell.
• If you have sold or purchased items 30 days before the account closure request, eBay will keep the account open for approximately 50 days in order to verify that the purchases and sales you have made at that time have been successful.
