Deleting my unused ebay account
Summary: patchi1502 shared their experience of having their eBay account hacked and subsequently opening another account with a Gmail address, which has since been suspended. They are seeking advice on how to close the suspended account and transfer the email address to their active account.
My current ebay account was hacked at some point but I managed to get it back. So, before I recovered it, I opened another ebay account using my gmail account but I never used it and when I open it it says it is suspended and it never allow me to do anything else apart from contacting ebay. Now I want to close it completely and use the gmail email address on my current (old ebay account). How can I close an account which is suspended and how can I remove the email address (registered email on account) from a suspended account and use it on an acive account?

I do not think that email addresses can be reused; once an email address is associated with an eBay account it can be used to sign in to that account and the email cannot be reused with another eBay account.
There may be ways to generate a unique email address associated with the same email inbox, however, depending on your provider. For instance:
