More than one ebay account at same address?

My sister's partner already has an Ebay account, can she open her own account with it being the same address etc? Thanks

  • yes so long as you use a different email address to register it in. If you haven't got your own email address its dead easy to set a new one up or free.

    We have 4 accounts (3 x selling) all registered at the same address.
    Your OK as long as you do not use an account to interact with another one (Shill bidding)
    We always clear the cookies/cache before logging into another account.
  • I have a few (ahem 8 in total) I very often have 3 open at same time but sometimes end up crossing over into the other account if I forget and click the back button, so easier to deal with the sales in each account one by one rather than all 3 at once!

    I wouldn't dream of shill bidding - that would be very silly seeing as all my accounts are at the same address and same paypal account! I have seen it done on an item I was bidding on they were so obvious ebay struck them off before the item ended. If you try to cheat the system expect to be caught. Stay squeaky clean and you have nothing to fear.

    both myself and my boyfriend have an ebay account each, registered to our own addresses, but my address is on his account as delivery address, due to me working from home and more likely to be in, Hasn't caused a problem so far
