I would recommend that SR buys your account back, maybe rated by how much you generated fees for SR? So you will get your account closed and get money for helping SR getting better.
And yes this is a big scam opportunity for the dishonest 1%

This is actually a really good idea; I second this.

When I read the topic title I wanted to make exactly the same suggestion as swch^^
Selling Vendor Accounts with good feedback will only do  more worse then good.
A vendor accoun costs 25 bitcoins at the momemt, perhaps the SR stuff could make it so that a seller account can be sold for like 20 bitcoins again if one doesn't need to use it anymore?

Having third parties buy seller accounts just REAKS of scam. Imagine if someone bought this account than started ripping people off.

SR should having something where they buy back you're account rather than trying to sell it which is just bad news bears.

I'm pretty sure this is against the rules to sell your seller acct...?

I'm pretty sure this is against the rules to sell your seller acct...?

Its not in the restricted items blurb. And the sellers guide makes no statement of nontransferability.

I think that selling a seller account should be allowed....BUT...
I think that every sellers "permit" should have a unique ID# and when a seller decides to quit vending they should only be selling that "permit to sell"
not their user name,
not their feedback,

because while it isnt implicitly covered by the item restrictions I would consider the user name, and feedback to constitute "an item who's purpose is to defraud"

Restricted items
Please do not list anything who's purpose is to harm or defraud, such as stolen items or info, stolen credit cards, counterfeit currency, personal info, assassinations, and weapons of mass destruction (chemical/bio weaponry, nukes, and anything used to make them).
Please do not list anything related to pedophilia.

That's what I was thinking, it should be allowed as long as SR forces you to change your username and maybe even gives a public notice for two weeks or so saying the account has been transferred to a new user. Obviously if you're an honest vendor these policies won't affect you  but if you want to scam you'll complain about them.

Exactly, in fact to set the record straight [if possible] all existing feedback/stats to be removed + username changed to make sure the account is "clean" and I'll be up for buying it,

can Silk Road (admin) or a mod out there act as a escrow for this service? e.g verify this is "legal" and act as a proxy?

e.g mracid gives login details to mod.
mod verifies acct + changes password.
I pay BTC's to mracid.
mod gives me login details?

It's pointless if everything is changed; just buy it from SR, there's no reason to buy it from somebody else in that case. But I think selling them back to SR might be a good idea, too.

i would be interested in doing this if it would get an OK by an admin. 

i would likely ask for the feedback to be removed hopefully, i just want to get a seller account and only have $120 worth of mtgoxusd in disposal.

how would you escrow the sellers account as well? does it have bad feedback like "pillhead" or something?

Allowing sellers to sell their good feedback accounts sounds like a scam waiting to happen.  Chances of them being bought by good sellers is only 50-50 at best, hope the admins do not allow this to happen.

What about selling a "clean" vendor account, no feedback or anything?

I have a vendor's account that is one of the older ones on the site that I've never used to sell anything and will likely not sell anything.

If it's allowed I would gladly sell my account to someone who could make some use for it.
