It is because right now the only way to have a second store is to open a second
account. Duplicate accounts are forbidden by the BL ToS. The glaring loophole,
however, is that a member can have use the name of their spouse, sibling or friend
to open a new account and then manage that account just as if it were his own.
the second account is in name only, and I don't feel comfortable with that. I
think it will invite fictional users and much abuse. If your spouse is truly
running the store, OK. But if you are just using their name, I would say no.
Still, a second store under well-defined limited circustances might be a good
idea for some. Before jumping into this, however, we should clarify what those
limited circumstances might be and what additional rules, if any, should apply
to those second and third stores.

I agree.
Sounds like everyone is on the same page for once.

Not quite everyone. I like to know that if I am in someone's shop, this is it,
and I don't have to wonder whether there's something else in another shop of
theirs that I also want at the same time. I also don't like the possibility
that one seller might have more than one shop on the spotlighted / featured store
page. And plenty of people do fine selling both new and used items. What if
someone decides they want a shop strictly for gear, one for sets, one for new
parts, another for used parts... you get the picture. Why complicate things
for users (especially newer ones) as well as use up more of BL's resources unnecessarily?
I think it works fine the way it is.
