Personal account and 2nd business account | Create your business on eBay

Hello, I’m currently a private seller on eBay, mainly reselling second-hand items and a few collectibles from my drawers and shelves. I’m planning to switch to professional status (sole proprietorship in my own name), and therefore to sell as a pro on eBay. But a question comes to mind. I saw that it was possible to open a 2nd account on eBay. So in theory, I could keep my pro account in addition to my professional account. However, for private individuals, the sales limit is €2,000/year before information is shared with the tax authorities. But how does it work when you sell both as a private individual and as a professional? How do you separate the 2 incomes from a tax point of view? I mean, if I sell €1,000 on the private account and €20,000 on the pro account (that’s just an example, I don’t know what my future turnover will be), will eBay pass on a total of €21,000 in sales to the tax authorities? I haven’t found any information about this.
