Advice please - starting with old PP
 

First of all hello to all members, this forum is just what I've been looking for, for current situation, and possible future ones. :) Already found some very useful infos here, but I would like to hear more about a specific situation.
So, I have products I'm planning to sell on eb-ay an et-sy. At this moment inventory is not huge, but could grow in near future.
I'm having an aged ''vanilla'' pay-pal and eb-ay account, which was used only for buying. Never had any problems with it, and would like it to stay that way. It has name_surname e-mail attached to it as only e-mail. I'd like to have shop_name e-mail, not a name_surname e-mail for transactions with buyers. Do I just need to add new e-mail and/or make it primary?

I've read a lot about suspensions on both eb-ay and et-sy, so what would you do if you were about to start selling? I would like to keep it maximum legit for a start (I will not sell high risk/copyrighted items), but also to ''prepare field'' for future, if I get suspended for any reason (and the more I read, I see it just must happen, sooner or later, if you're doing any good).
About eb-ay, I know it is linked from the start with current accounts, but what about et-sy? To make an e-mail just for et-sy, and not to make any payments (bills and fees) with pay-pal, and rather use gift card? To use pay-pal just for withdrawals. Will it be suspicious for them?

I know there are some noob questions, but I just want to know more from experienced sellers and stealthers, what's the best way to start. I'd like to keep stealth as a backup plan, but also not to make it somehow harder now. Any tips would help.
