How to create another ebay account?

Hi!

I've decided to create another ebay account, so I have one for selling and one for buying. But how do I go about creating one? Do I just do it as normal, like sign up, or do I have to do it through my current user name? I just don't want to sign up from scratch and then get into trouble for having differnt accounts or anything.

Thanks!

    You just need a new email address :)

    You can still have the same details on it as your original one, just a change of email address is needed

    Online email provided by google. Nice to use, excellent spam facilities.

    Like hotmail, but not rubbish like hotmail ;)

  • Don't you need a seperate debit/credit card for the second account?
  • Nah, I got two accounts, one for posting and one for selling/buying.

    Yes you will need different bank details or card details for both if you are using a web based email address.
