Combine Two EBay Accounts

Ebay lets you have as many accounts as you like, as long as your not breaking any of their rules. They also let you combine 2 or more of those accounts. There could be a few reasons you want to combine your accounts.

You might have started a separate buyer account so your seller account is not shown. If you started an ebay account to build up feedback, you can add it to your old or current account to add more feedback to it. When you combine your ebay accounts, all your feedback rating goes with it. So you can actually double your feedback rating on ebay. Your combined ebay accounts will show your combined feedback rating, reviews and guides, and your helpfulness ratings.

For example, the contact information on both accounts must match.
The secondary account must remain inactive (no bidding or listing activity) for at least 60 days prior to the merge to the primary account. Note: You can continue to use the primary account as you normally would during that time.
If you meet these security requirements, you can combine your ebay accounts.

Your merged account's member since date will be date of your older account.
Your merged account will combine the feedback from both accounts so that the feedback score will reflect the total feedback earned on both accounts.
Your merged feedback comments may not appear in chronological order.
The reviews and guides you have written for both accounts will be added together. Just go to my ebay under management options if you want to merge your accounts. I hope this helps some of you combine your ebay accounts. It's very helpful especially for combining your feedback rating.

  1. Great post, if there was a link explaining WHERE you could actually do the merge that would be helpful. I cannot find the "Just go to my ebay under management options if you want to merge your accounts."
