Hello friends.  I could really use some advice.  I've been selling flint  (rocks for making arrowheads) on eBay for three years now.  It is a very niche market and also my mainstay.   I do sell other things however, and those items run the gamut from cowboy boots to coffee pots to painted tile.  Everything is sold under the same account. I'm a top-rated plus seller with feedback of 700 or so.  Here's my dilemma:  I opened an eBay store in February and have found that my flint sales have gone down.  I attribute this to customers feeling less confident in my flint when they see I also sell totally unrelated objects like dog vitamins. What to do....close the store and go back  to  how I sold before?  Open another account for the miscellaneous items and start over with a feedback of  zero?  If I do open a new account can I mention in the text of the ad that I am a top-rated seller on another account?  Or a seasoned seller?  I am also finally designing a website for my flint which will be linked to my ebay postings.  Does anybody have any insight for me?  I'm waffling in a major way..  Thanks. claire ...
