Is creating two store the best way to get my items noticed?

My husband and I have an ebay selling Barbies and Cards for the last year. In the beginning, we were equally selling and showing the same about of product. Now, He has so many cards posted each day that no one notices our dolls. 

Should I create my own store or continue to sell in our main store with categories.  A new store will only show my products but I lose our name and good feedback.

Which is the better plan get my dolls noticed?

ALL Ebay accounts are FREE.  However Stores are NOT.

Re: Is creating two store the best way to get my items noticed?

Do you plan to sell on eBay long term @bcswift3_dolls ? Are you in an older age bracket? (Real questions, not being insensitive or prying.)

 

Something we see here a lot is husband and wife teams that lose a spouse and don't know how to get the eBay account transferred from one person's name & SSN to the other's. The reason is it can't be done. eBay doesn't let you transfer ownership of an account.

 

My advice is to have your own separate account as a security measure to plan for the future and build up an active selling history, that way if/when the inevitable occurs, you can continue on with whichever account is in the living spouse's name. Think of it as estate planning.

 

Another option is to create a company and make your active account a business account, that way you can both keep using the same account.

 

I know this isn't what you were asking about, but I've noticed a lot of the crowd on this forum leans towards an older demographic and they have questions surrounding topics like this.

 

As for the question you did ask, it's hard to offer advice without seeing the account in question, the number of listings, etc.

That sounds like a plan. Good luck and happy sales to you!
