Mentor8 months agoHi @fiberqween
It's good to do that...to keep your buying and selling activities separate. Just open another account. You'll need a different email address to use for the new account.
See this link:

Since you have a lot of feedback, you may want to keep your current account for selling and the new account for buying. Buyers will have more confidence buying from someone with experience (even if it's only buying experience.)
If you want to change your user name on your current account, see this link:

To start selling, you need to register as a seller so you can receive payments, so see this link too:

You cannot simply block a seller the way that a seller can block a bidder or buyer, but you can exclude the seller's items from appearing in a specific search.
From your search results, go to the Advanced Search page to the seller section, select "only show items from" and then check "exclude". Enter up to ten seller usernames separated by commas and hit "search". Then bookmark or save the search results. Be sure to use the seller's username as shown on the Feedback page, not the store name shown in the listing if the seller has a store.
If you use the bookmarked or saved search results as the basis for further searches, you can continue to exclude those sellers' items from your results.

Mentor8 months ago@fiberqween You just open a new account. https://www.ebay.com/help/account/creating-account/creating-ebay-account?id=4191&st=
The new account needs to have a unique user ID and email address
