    how to change email address
                     

    I haven't bought on eBay for awhile, when I went to log in it asked to verify the email currently tied to the account. I wanted to change the email, but when I went to verify it with my other email, it said what I typed in was already taken. I don't remember setting up another account but it is possible. What is procedure for fixing my dilemma? Thank you in advance,

    You have two choices.  You can switch to the other account permanently (you'll have to reset the password most likely), or you can do that just temporarily so you can gain access and change the email account on that eBay account to something else, and then change this account to the email address you want to use.  Either one is fine, it's just a question of whether you retain this account's history or not.
