E Mail Addresses and Ebay

Hi

I have an email account with Lycos and for the past few months all the labels on the tabs, eg, trash, reply, move etc. have disappeared and it makes doing anything on my account really difficult as I dont know which buttons mean what!!!!!

OK so I have a new account with Yahoo, much better and I have been into Ebay to change e mail addresses, succesfully so far though they have alerted me to make sure it is me doing it all and not fraud. So far so good.

However, as I am in the process of being verified/expanded account on Paypal and they have my original e mail address, do I have to change it on there also - I just dont want to put a spanner in the works at this point with Paypal.

My question therefore is, does it matter if I have one email address operating for ebay, and a different one for Paypal?????

Can anyone help. Ta :)

    No.


    You can just add your new e-mail account to PayPal. However you will still need to receive through your old Lycos acccount. Why add your accounts to Outlook and then it would be easier?

    No it's fine.

    When I was under 18 I used to sell on ebay with my mum's account (as you must be 18 for an ebay account), but had my own PayPal account (PayPal didn't ask/care how old I was, I'm sure it was probably in the T&Cs somewhere though).

    :rotfl: Are you trying to make them suspicious?

    I used to have different paypal and ebay email addresses. I would leave the paypal account as it is for now.
