two ebay accounts?

Say I wanted a second ebay account for purchasing stuff only is it possible? (and how please)

I suppose the second account would be more "private" than the primary account.

    You can have more than one account ,you just need a separate email address for each one .
    Many ebayers have buying and selling accounts and some have a posting account for ebay community forums.
    Just a word of warning, however, they will be linked via your address so if you end up suspended on one ,the other will often get suspended too.

    Simply register with this link https://scgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?RegisterEnterInfo - all you need as said is a second email address.

    WHen you have done that, login to your Paypal account, Click the Profile Link, the Auctions under the Seller Preference header. You can then add the new ebay account to your Paypal Account.

    There is an interesting thread about this on the eBay Q&A Board at the moment...
