Second account on Ebay?

I'm sure this is here somewhere, but where do I go to have a second account on Ebay?

I'm thinking of selling specific items with the intent on opening a proper business. But I don't want to sell them on my account as people searching feedback may have mixed reactions when they see all my house clearance stuff on their!

    OR use your real name and just a different email account. Don't lie to these people.
    I have a second account (just buying, so am not scared to complain - feedback doesn't matter here) with an email address that re-directs to my usual email account, so I get to keep everything tidy.

    I have several accounts, 2 main selling accounts that carry completely different items, plus several buying Ids. Each of the accounts is set up using all my correct details, name , address and phone number. However each account has completely different bank details.

  • I have 2 accounts one for business and one for personal stuff, had no problems setting up at all. I think all you need is different email adresses? But I may be wrong?
