What if I sold non-cards items on eBay?

Buccaneer

My elderly dad does not trust eBay to sell his coins and antique tools (even though he has bought some stuff in the past). He and I talked today about me selling some of his items, knowing how well I am doing selling my cards. Here's a question. If I start selling his items under my current ID (feedback=80), would that scare some cards bidders off? Or would you recommend I start another ID for the purpose of selling his items?

I would say that half of my transaction on ebay are card-related. I use only one ID for all of my auctions and I don't think it's hurt me anyway. However, I'm not a heavy seller (about 350 transactions total) so if you are then maybe different rules will apply in your case.

i sell everything i can to make money,not just sports memorabilia.why not? card buyers are looking for cards.ive also bought cards from non card sellers and never gave it a second thought.as long as the auctions were honest.

Feedback is important...............so I wouldn't want to start at 0 again.........

I think most people look at the feedback amount and not the individual feedbacks..... ...

You will lose more bids with ZERO feedback then selling items you do not usually sell.

I don't think it matters, either. You would probably benefit from your current feedback rating in the non-card auctions, as opposed to starting with zero again. I doubt many people look at exactly what you sold to get your rating (you can't look after 90 days anyway).
