Is there anything in the TOS that would prevent the transfer of ownership of
my store to another user?

I was made an offer from a user that is currently not a seller. I am considering
it but want to make sure everything is done in a manner that is not going to
anger the admins or violate policy.

A simple transfer of my account would mean they do not have to upload the inventory
all over...so that seems easiest to me. Then I got to thinking maybe that isn't
allowed and maybe there is another way to go about a transfer.

I'm going through the TOS now and I may come across the relevant answer but
I figured someone has to have had a similar situation before and maybe they can
offer an answer that will save me time and keep me from violating any rules.

no. accounts cannot be traded or sold. you can sell the inventory but not the
account. you can help the potential buyer out by downloading your store inventory
and then giving them the file

I was thinking that was going to be the case. How do I go about getting a download
of the inventory?

lol

As the "seller":

* simply close your shop (or make impossible orders like with no shipping method
or $99K minimum)

* then download your Inventory file invxml.txt here:
https://www.bricklink.com/invExcel.asp

Be sure to check XML and "Include My Stockroom Inventory" (to be sure).

Transmit this file to the buyer, e-mail or wetransfer.com...

Buyer then can download BrickStore (free, open-source), import this file, check/change
prices, whatever and upload to his shop.

Warning - one should upload by batches of maximum 300 lots maybe.
It's not a BrickStore problem, but BrickLink / the browser won't accept
too big uploads.

Thanks for the assist!

I wasn't aware of this feature. This will make it easy if they want to proceed.
And it will keep everyone happy.

You can also inmport your bricklink inventory straight into brickstore (and send
that file to the buyer). No need for the invxml

Yes but he's the seller, he doesn't need a program to download his inventory.
The buyer does.
