Is it possible to have 2 separate ID's on ebay?? Say one for coins and another for other "stuff"???

Thanks!

Sure.

Yes, you can have as many as you want.

PS: If you have more than one active "seller" account, though, sooner or later PayPal and/or eBay will give you a "verification" phone call. Buyer accounts they don't really care about.

So they don't want you to have 2 separate seller accounts or they are just verifying you are both ID's?

It's just a fraud protection measure.

I don't think it would make much sense though since all your feedbacks would be divided.

They don't care, but they have to be sure everything's kosher probably for insurance purposes. You can have as many ID's as you want, provided you don't bid on your own stuff with the different ID's.

In many cases it makes perfect sense. For example: I have a buying account so that if I get screwed by a seller I can neg him and not worry about a retaliatory neg showing up on my selling account. I also have an additional selling account that I'm developing for general merchandise consignment sales.

OK you have different eBay accounts. Do they or can they both or all three use the same PayPal account?

Absolutely !

Yep, not a problem. You can even have different eMail addresses for each.

Thanks for the info.
Like Russ's idea of seperate buyer and seller accounts.
