Or contact Stripe support
PayPal
Your PayPal account is independent of ShopBroker. Close it through PayPal if desired.

References (ratings you left/received) remain
Re-Joining
You can create a new account later with:
The same or different email

Common Questions
Will my ratings disappear?
Ratings you left on others remain (attributed to "deleted user"). Ratings on you may still show for record-keeping.
What about my referrals?
Referral credits and history are closed with your account. Active discounts end.
Can I delete just my listings?
Yes! You don't need to delete your account. Just remove individual listings from your dashboard.

Self-service is immediate. Support requests process within 2-3 business days.
