    Ok cool, ill get it set up tonight. I might as well use the new account to sell things.

    But... best buy a few cheap things on it to get the rating up first or people might bid less cos i have 0 rating!!

    It's allowed, as long as your existing account hasn't been shut down by ebay for naughtiness!

    Report this item > Listing policy breaches > Other listing policy offences > General naughtiness

    I swear it's there :D

    I think the new system is madness.... half the people on ebay BUY and SELL... but now its all to easy for people to see how much youve paid for an item they are bidding on.

    Im just going to end up getting tonnes of emails from muppets offering less than they saw me purchase an item for.

    And another similar problem is that sometimes a have a few of the same item. I find they go for an average give or take a few pounds but sometimes get quite a bit more. Now if I sell the first one for £10 to Mr X then Mr Y isn't going to want to pay more. He'll see that first (possibly cheap) price as the going/top price. It will be interesting...
