setting up a second ebay acc

Bob1000

Hi

I have an ebay and paypal account and have no issues.

I now want to set up a second ebay user ID & paypal account as I want to keep this seperate from my business account. When I try and create it on ebay it recognizes I already have one and prompts me "did i forget my password" etc.

What info do I need to change as a minimum in order to do this, just the email address? Also will I have the same problem with paypal?

Thanks

have you tried clearing your cookies beofre creating a new account? If not, ebay will recognise you as soon as you go to the site which is why you may have difficulty setting up a new account

If you use Internet Explorer as your browser, you could always download a copy of Firefox and use this to set up your new account. It's handy to have a second 'clean' browser sitting on your desktop. Then you could just use Firefox for your new account to keep things well and truly seperate. This is the method I use.

When you set up your new paypal account, be aware that it will not let you use the same credit card or current account as your existing Paypal account. So make sure you've got alternatives in place.
