Title: Selling a seller account
Post by: lex on February 26, 2012, 08:10 pm
I have a seller account I might not want in the future, it have some feedback. Can I sell it to Silkroad or someone else? I mean, I paid to have it so I can sell it?

I'm not sure this is the greatest idea. Even if you had built up a solid rep how would anyone know the new owner isn't a scammer?
There would just be too many unanswered questions that would prevent me from doing any kind of business with an account acquired like that.

Well. Obviously it would be impossible for you to tell the account was sold. I don't care. I pay $100 for the account.

Interesting idea.  I would like to sell my vendor's account because I want to start a new one under new ip addresses and implement pgp.  I'm not sure if customers would like the idea, though.  I could probably get around $500 for my vendor's account, but how would we screen against scammers?

I'm interested in buying a seller account at a discount or paying someone to list an item for me...

Hard, yes. Impossible, no.  No need to get into it, point being that in an ongoing effort to prevent scams this would seem to enable them.
Yes, I see you don't care. You paid $100. But what exactly did you do wrong with your account that you weren't able to recoup the initial investment?
 If it is an unsuccessful account then I guess the rep would speak for itself, even in the event of a hidden transfer.
If the account was a success though, the cost of the account should have easily been made up over time in sales.
I understand where you're coming from, you bought it, it has value, you should be able to cash in on that if you wish.
I just think if not handled properly it can lead to some really bad business on SR.
