Closing eBay account and selling on my other?

[zxr]

I currently have two accounts, one is 3-4 years old and my new one is just a few weeks old. I used my old account a month ago to try and sell game keys, it went well but I had 1 scammer who opened a dispute and left feedback saying "scammer" 3 hours after sending him his game key. The keys are genuine, obtained from sealed physical game copies so I know it was someone scamming me and being a complete a**h*** about it.

Anyway, I decided to open up a new eBay account under an actual "brand" name and sell on this one. My limits for both accounts are 100/£3,500 as I've confirmed my house address but I'd like to know if I should close my old eBay account. Reason being, I don't want to have to call eBay to raise my limits if I get to 100/100 or £3,500/£3,500 and have them ask if I have any other accounts (as I've read on this forum).

My old account has 80% positive Feedback (only 1 negative feedback). It kind of looks bad and I really wouldn't like to be declined a raise in limits because of this.

I guess my questions are, should I close the account or does it not matter? And if I close it will I still be able to sell on my other eBay account... and finally, would closing it raise suspicion if during the call they ask if I have any other accounts and check?

Thanks!

I have more than one ebay account. I had one limited for a while when they changed the seller standards. It didn't affect my other account. I would keep it open and sell other things to get the percentage back up. I would never get rid of a good working ebay account. just sell stuff that you won't have issues with and get the numbers back up. Then use your brand name one for the gamer stuff.

Depends if your accounts are linked .. 1 neg is not a big deal and a year for time its left will be gone .. have you tried to reason with the buyer that left the feedback offer a refund a sorry man trying to feed my family message ,, i get most negs revised after i sweet talk them a bit

I would hold on to it because it won't get suspended or effect your other account because of a negative feedback.

Just don't use your new account to sell the same things as your old account. You can have more than one account, as it sounds your new account isn't a stealth account. But, you can not sell in the same category

I would not close it. Just keep it and keep selling on it. Why close an account that can generate revenue for you? 1 negative feedback won't hurt you.
