Hi daxu.

Just a word of caution if you are thinking of buying things to build up your feedback then re-sell in your shop.Note that if buyers look at your feedback they can see everything you have bought or sold in the last 90 days assuming you were left feedback for it.
....so say you bought a book for 50p one week then tried to re-sell it 2 weeks later buyers could see that you bought it not so long ago and how much you paid for it so they might not want to pay much more than you did.Also they will see what p+p you paid for it so don't charge too much more than you paid.

I have to say that I have done this in the past (looked at sellers items) to see if they bought the item recently but I know some people are like me and want to buy something cheap then re-sell for a profit,I don't have a problem with it....its just business....lol...

Just thought I'd warn you of what could happen.

I personally have 2 usernames. One for buying and the other for selling. Obviously then isn't any point in doing this when you 1st start out but when you get yourself estabished feedbackwise, then it is a good move.

This way if you do buy something you want to resell then it won't in your history! (cos you bought in your buying username not your selling! )

Bargainbabe, I thought of doing this with 2 account but isn't it a faff signing in and out of two accounts?

I've got more than one user account and use them for different things. One I use to buy a certain item for overseas which I then sell later, re packaged, via another account. I don't find it too much bother to sign in and out as I have to keep doing that all the time anyway even when using 1 account as of course I don't keep myself signed in, for security reasons.
