    Well, overall # of feedbacks, because 3 100% compared to 100 100% is a huge difference

    Didn't know there was a market for this

    Won't be worth anything and you'll lose money if EBay catches on to what you are getting into.

    Very little since anyone can create an ebay account, but a few cheap items and build up their ranking.

    Disagree with the above comments about it being worth very little.... what you are effectively doing is the same as the goodwill aspect in the valuation of a business.

    Ok, if you have sold 10 items, been registered for a month and thats it then it is worth next to nothing. If however it has been registered for a few years, it has sold 50,000 items, many people have it added as a favourite seller, it has a desirable store name etc then it certainly would have a resell value

    It is not worth anything unless it someone who is looking to scam others. It is not very smart to buy an account because if caught, you will lose the account. It is much wiser to follow the rules and be honest to build a reputable name for you and your business.

    NOt worth anything unless sold with a "Real Business" so you can tranfer the id.

    You are only a licensee for the name, you cant own it. This has been proven in numerous court cases involving divorce, bankruptcy etc. The liquidators were unable to impound the user id.
