If I choose to grow my business by upgrading from an individual seller to a Store with a new name do I forfeit my 10 year feedback rating?....or does my ebay username sit under the store name with all feedback history on view.

your STore name actually sits under your ebay ID

you open a store with your current ID, nothing changes other than giving your store a ''name''

(check out mine, I have been putney32 since 2000 with never a change but I have a newish Store name)

do not be tempted to open a new ebay ID just to open a Store you'll start with (0) fb and restrictions on the number of items you can list/sell in a month as a new seller (0)feedback.

you can if you wish 'change ' your ebay ID  without loosing your feedback ratings
