    Sassy - how do you receive payment if you use eBay then?

    I have only sold on ebay occasionally using my buying account, but now I'm looking to sell off the children's toy and clothes they've out grown. I have read through this thread it looks like I would be better off opening a second account to sell so not to affect my existing accounts good feedback.
    So I just register as a new ebayer using a second e-mail account?

    Yes, spot on.

    I would however use the existing account as the seller one as feedback helps a seller but is completely un necessary for a buyer.

    I'm ready to try selling so I have opened a second eBay account, different ID, e-mail address and linked it to my Paypal account. Anything else I need to do?

    Should the primary e-mail be the selling or buying account?

    the email does not really matter, what matters is that you make use of the feedback you have had as a buyer, as nobody wants to buy from a 0 fb seller
    good luck! :)

    Or buy some stuff on the new account to get you up beyond 10 FB.

    I got wrecked on one of my selling accounts so had to start a new one. For a month or two I just bought on it, and once I was up into the yellow star ratings, tried listing again, and did actually sell what I had. They weren't expensive items by any means, but if you are not planning a business, then I found some buyers in some markets don't pay too much attention to it as long as you at least have a yellow star.
