Hopefully you have followed my advice repeated over and over here and have separate accounts for buying and selling.
bobby & others frequently suggest having 2 different accounts - 1 for buying & 1 for selling. Well, I finally took the dive just now & tried to setup a 2nd account for buying. I entered my info with a new ID & Password. I got the following error message: quote:
You're already registered on ebay
How did this happen?
* You may have already registered with ebay a while ago, but forgot about it.
* If you share your email address with someone else, they may have signed up for an ebay account with this address.
Here's how to fix this
You can:
* Try again with a different email address
* Sign in and make changes to your account
I only have (& only want) one email account. Advice or solutions?

David, You have a couple of options. One, check to see how many email accounts your current mail server will allow and create a new one for the ebay buyer account. Two, go to Yahoo and set up one of their free accounts to use for this. Good luck. |

You must use a different email account. That's how ebay identifies the account. |

I use hotmail. If I set up a 2nd email account, is there a way to have that 2nd account forward email to my primary account, so I don't have to open & check both?

Or whatever.

Don't know with Hotmail. quote:

The name doesn't matter. You can have 100 accounts with your name, it's only the email address that must be unique. |

There's nothing "wrong" with having 2 accounts, you can have 50 if you want. Perfectly ebay legal. Your accounts weren't suspended simply for having 2, there had to be another reason. |

Not to hijack this thread, but I have another question about the second account.
I have set up a second account, my new buying account, but is there EASY way to transfer your favorite sellers list from your first account to your new account?
I kept my first account as my selling account as I have a lot of feedback there and some regular customers and would not want to throw things off.
