Probably, but it depends on what you are doing specifically. If you are comingling business and personal funds, you run the high risk of losing your liability protection with the company. However, simply selling a few personal items in the store will not affect that.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. The link to my contact information is below. Thank you.

Possibly, depending on whether you keep your business and personal funds separate (discuss that with your CPA).
