got another ebay account but now confused!

I've just set up another ebay account as my old one was a bit too personal ie my user id and i wanted to start from scratch. Not up to anything criminal or anything but someone i know did a search on ebay with my email and had been commenting on things I was selling....I've only been selling stuff that i've had for years but felt a bit embarrased :o by it.

Now I've just set up a new yahoo email address, paypal account and ebay account. I've put in a credit card number on paypal which I have just acquired (one of martins specials:j) but I now need a bank account setting up and I haven't got another one!

The whole thing now is getting a bit confusing!!!:o

is it possible to change my orignal ebay id and the email to go with it without it coming back to my original ebay details when you search?

Gosh I sound well dodgy:eek:

    Theres a women across the road which always comments on the things i buy and sell, she likes to mention at the school gates in front of other mums usually about the clothes i've bought for my kids. A couple of years ago i got a bargain pushchair for £20 which she often mentioned in front of other people, she had just paid more than £500 for her one. I'm quite certain that our household has more spare cash than hers but she like to tell everyone how much things cost. I would just change your original id, for a while it does show your old user id.

    I thought it only came up when you had a recent transaction with them.

    I've just tried it with a friends email address and it wont show me her user id...

    I had somebody on my saved sellers list who changed their ID. They were still on there, with their new name.
