2 quick questions:

1. Why have 2?
2. I think it is against ebay rules?

[pkjack]

Hey…

1- I have 2 totally different niches so would like to keep branding separate etc…
2 - i spoke to ebay and they said - sellers can have multiple selling accounts. They can be used simultaneously

All the best

Hmm… I didn’t know you could do that with ebay’s blessing. Some years ago they froze me for 7 days because of duplicate listings and they were very specific… Don’t start a new account to get around the duplicates rule. That’s likely the difference right there

[pkjack]

Hiya! yeah its not duplicate… totally different items.

[rlmartin]

No, not 2 accounts with the same items. I had items with exactly the same title in one account but all different pictures. They said that broke the rules.

Yes I believe the approved use case is “selling different things to different audiences with separate accounts”.

But I do know many booksellers who sell “discounted” books in one account, “fancy” ones in another, and commodities in a third. It helps them and their customers keep things straight, I think.

Also one could use a separate account for consignments, if you handle consigned items.

Does GS handle separate listings and keep separate account users?

Hi,

you can see it in the inspector:

Or you can create a smart group, to auto-group the listings from one account:

Hope that helps!
