Can feedback be transferred from .com to .ca account?

I'm so confused I feel as though my head is going to explode!

I'm a Canadian who sold on ebay.com for about 20 years, then took a break when things changed on Ebay. Now I want to get back to selling, but I'm told that without a U.S. bank account & U.S. address, I can't sell on the .com site but must switch to ebay.ca under a new seller name.

Fine, I'm willing to do that, but I've also been told that it means I'll lose the 3500 positive feedback ratings that I accumulated over two decades! Is this possible? Is there no way to transfer them or link them?? It's devastating to think I have to start from scratch.

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks Lotz - interesting info in the thread  and certainly comforting to see I'm not alone, but the issue of transferring feedback wasn't discussed. Anyone have any ideas about that?

Basically it's 1 of the repercussions of having to switch to a new account if that was the only option.
