Looking to move from being sole trader to shop - will I loose all feedback??

Hi everybody,

I have been trading on e-bay for a number of years and I now have the time to open a shop (yippee).  I am wondering if I will loose all my feedback etc that I have gained over the years - or if I keep the same username will I be able to keep it???  I am just looking into shop details now and this is something that concerns me as it takes time to build up a good base and customer confidence is so important...
