Opening another store/ID will most likely simply cost you more money each month and may not give you many more listings. Your current ID is too new to have any influence on a new one. If you had a long established ID with good standing and plenty of RECENT positive feedback, it might help, but that is not the case, so there is every likelihood that your second ID would have an even lower limit than the first, probably 10 listings initally, and they may not be inclined to raise it despite your other ID.
I have two stores/IDs, my first has been open since eBay started in Australia, the second I opened last year to separate my specialty product line from my general merchandise. The new ID started with a limit of 10 and linking the two only got me an increase to 50, I still had to "prove myself" over several months before I reached a reasonable limit. 12 monhs on it still has a limit of 1300 items.
You just need to have patience and work through the process. THERE IS NO MAGIC TRICK THAT WILL GIVE YOU HIGHER LIMITS RIGHT NOW. Furthermore eBay may well see the second ID as an attempt to circumvent restrictions and get you a policy violation. That would not help you with getting a limit increase on the first ID down the track.
Penny and Clarry are correct about this little detail.
Do you have a wife or partner ? Are they interested in selling auto electrical parts ? If so they could open a store with seperate email address, seperate bank account details, seperate credit card linked to the account etc. ( all of this would need to be in their own name only ). They may well recieve a similar selling limit to what you have now and anything they sell will count on their tax record for income, not yours. This is how my wife and I have structured our ebay businesses.
If you are serious about establishing a business on ebay it may be worth getting the set-up right, from the start for tax purposes. If this is of interest PLEASE CONSULT YOUR ACCOUNTANT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING !!!!
It goes without saying that your wife or partner would of course be the one on the computer doing the work. ( or at least providing proffesional advice and management to you as to how her store is run. )

Problem is they would probably have the same ip address so could risk everything if there was a duplicate listing on both ids.
If you open another store you may find you are restricted to just 10 listings to start with, that is what happens to most people.
Why not open a non store id and list up to your limit as BINs for 10 days, if you qualify for the 3 free relists (don't know if they are included in listing limits) you are effectively listing items for 28 days at no charge. If you can get the listing limit up to 100 by adding a credit card you could have another 40 listings. They must not be for the same items on the store id.
