Tips & Warnings
Don't close your account if you only have a couple of negative feedback ratings. Many sellers and even buyers mistakenly close their accounts and open new ones because they think a couple of negative ratings will haunt them, when in reality, a couple of negative feedback ratings will hardly matter at all. That's why you should really think about whether closing your account is the right choice.
