Hello.  Is it possible from a same account, with the same Paypal to create multiple stores for different types of products?. thanks

You can have multiple ebay IDs on one paypal account, as most sellers do.  However, you can only have one store per ID.  So if you wanted 3 different stores you would need 3 different IDs.  If you want to read about multiple IDs there is this:

Yes, but as a new seller, it would not necessarily be a good idea.

Unless the items are extremely different (like bibles and adult  toys) you can in a Store, have several " Aisles", so that the same shop can handle bibles, children's clothing, video games, post cards, whatever -- you can have about 300 "aisles" if you put your mind to it.

However, until you have at least 54 unique items, it is not economical to have a Store at all. Without a Store you can list 50 auctions monthly absolutely free. With a Store you will pay $16 a month plus 20 cents or so per item per listing.

With a single account, you can aggregate all your feedback which will get you Top Rated Seller status and fee discounts all the sooner.

A couple of other notes, only about 40% of all listings sell. And when your item does sell, as a new seller the buyer's payment will be held by PP for up to 21 days against your good performance.
