Please help! I’ve been buying from eBay for years. I just started selling random items (from around the house) about two months ago. I want to sell more specific items as a business-actually two different ones, while keeping my “random” personal page. How do I go about that? I want to do what’s “allowed”. I want everything to still be connected to the same banking information, but I would like the specific item pages to have different names on the pages (describing the items). Do I have to start a store or stores? And if so, my feedback wouldn’t follow? Those “stores”would have to start all over. Am I allowed to start a couple of new pages instead of stores? Using my same email address? Instead of stores? At least at the beginning?
I’m sorry if this sounds rambling. I hope it makes sense. I just don’t want to try and open up extra pages and eBay think I’m trying to be shady. I don’t want my page to get shutdown.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

you can set up another selling account, under a new id....your previous feedback would not carry over.........think you need a separate email address for it......not sure about the bank account......think you can use the same one.....

What do you mean you want to open a separate page?
Do you mean set up another account? Creating an eBay account
You would need a separate eMail address for another account and a separate user ID
You would also start from scratch on the new account as well with payout holds You can use the same banking information on a new account.

You're allowed to have multiple eBay accounts for selling. Many sellers choose to do this, usually because they sell very different types of items. Here's the Help page about it:
https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/identity-policies/multiple-accounts-policy?id=4232
Each selling ID gets its own allotment of 250 free insertions per month. You can use all of the same info for each ID (bank, address, etc.) but each ID must have its own email address.

You already have good FB as a seller. And you are an established seller. Why start another selling account? You know you can sell a variety of things on the account you already have, right? There are many sellers, for instance, who are selling children's clothing, pots and pans and car parts. If you start another selling account, it will have the standard requirements and limits of any new account. You don't really need a store. Can you return and tell us why you believe starting a second account would be better than just using the one you have?

Thanks so much, Everyone, for answering so quickly. I appreciate you all trying to decipher what I was trying to ask in that message. To be more specific, I want to have one page or store dedicated just to men’s ties and other accessories. One of my sons (my husband and I have 4) has loved dress clothes since he was a small child. He wears 3-piece suits- even to the dentist! 😁He has an extensive tie collection, pocket squares, cuff links, dress socks…all the gentlemen things. He even knows all different ways to tie neckties and can tie a real bow tie.
Anyway, we are an entrepreneurial family, so he’s been thinking about a financial project.He decided to sell what he knows. He took some money he saved, researched wholesalers and liquidators, and purchased inventory. I thought we would just list them on my page, but in his business plan he presented to us, he needed his own page because he “couldn’t have classy ties next to all random stuff.”😂
He isn’t old enough to have a page alone. but I can and will be responsible for it.
