Help with DSRs On Old Ebay Account

One of my ebay accounts That i have had for a few years has terrible DSR's I did try and close it back in november but it wouldnt let me as it said i had to wait 30 days after payment even though the account had been used by my sister earlier in the year and there was no payments/Balance of 0.00 made since Feb
I over christmas thought i would have two selling accounts and Start this one up again and regain decent ratings however I have only had two sales and both been international so not exactly made my feedback outstanding
I think perhaps its better to close this one down and just have my main one which has excellent ratings However in the mean time i don't want ebay to penalise me for it ..What is the best thing to do write them a email stating i would like the account closed?
any help would be excellent xxx

  • You're allowed as many accounts as you like as long as you've not been banned on any of them. :)
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p
  • I only really want my main one...and as the other account is bad im scared it will ban me on that account and mess up the Great one :(
    I have Tried to start reselling to Recover the ratings but it doesn't seem to get me anywhere

    I agree, that is a good idea as it can only get better then.

    You don't you just don't bother listing on it anymore. The benefit being that buyers can only get positive feedback and there are no stars so you can keep it open without worrying.
