Question
I have an ebay store with perfect feedback and substantial history (200).  I want to open a second store but know I will be starting at ground zero after all that hard work.  Any suggestions on how to combat this challenge for a new store?  Thank you!

Answer
Mike;

Is there a reason you are going to open a second store instead of putting the stuff in your current store? I understand if one store is videos and the other is say children's clothing...But if there is a way to combine them I would.  It would certainly save you on eBay fees, and I have always found it hard to keep two irons in the fire.

If you really want 2 stores.. and need feedback for the other id, Consider building up your feedback by buying some inexpensive items or even a few e-books.

Good luck with your new store.
