How do I merge my two accounts?

[natsi-2138]

I accidentally created a 2nd ebay account with my new email address but what I really wanted to do was add that email address to my original ebay account. Is there any way to merge my two accounts? 

OR do I have to close one and then try editing my email again?

Accounts cannot be merged.

You can keep the second account and use it for other things. Each account needs to have a distinct email address.

I am not certain if closing the account will allow you to use the email address for your original account, though.

Opening a second eBay account

You can open more than one eBay account as long as you use different email addresses and usernames for each additional account.

All you need to do is sign out of the account you're currently using, go to the Registration page - opens in new window or tab, and follow the steps above to create a new account.

Be aware that you can't use more than one account for activity related to the same listing. For example, you can't bid on the same item from multiple accounts or bid on an item you're selling from another account. You can find out more in our Multiple accounts policy.

If you want to move an email address from one eBay account to another, you'll need to remove it from the first account and wait 60 days before you can add that email address to a different account. Learn how to change your email address.
