eBay store or private seller? | Selling on eBay

Hello, I have a question regarding sales on eBay. I recently started listing items for sale.. the items I want to sell are mostly books and magazines, and a smaller number of various little objects.. unfortunately though there are many of them (we're talking about entire private collections with lots of items).I don't know whether to switch to an eBay shop.. (which I saw also offers advantages in sales, like more free listings per month.. the possibility to add discounts on prices, and maybe combine shipping for multiple items in the same purchase, which is something several buyers ask me for when buying multiple issues of a magazine).Does the eBay shop with a monthly subscription require a VAT number? I don't know whether I will then reach the limits set by law for occasional sales.. and since these are items not bought but personal, how should I handle it? In any case, over time they will eventually run out..many thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some advice
