I think having separate buying and selling accounts is not uncommon. Some may even have two selling accounts if they seller different genres of things. But, yes, 5 seems excessive.

That may have been true at one time, but I don't think it's possible to see what another person has bought now with scrambled user IDs and non-descriptive buyer feedback.
