How Do You Get Second E-Mail Address?

I'm considering having another Ebay user name in the future. I heard you need to get another E-mail for  this. Does anyone know where to go to get a second e-mail?

Re: How Do You Get Second E-Mail Address?

I'm assuming you would like to change your ebay username on the account you are using. To do that go to:

 

My ebay > Account > Personal Information > User ID > Edit

 

You do not need to change your email. And once you do change your username you can not change it for 30 days.

No actually I just would like a second e-mail in case I may want to sell on my current name and also sell other items with another name and also for other reasons.

Ohhhh! Well here you go @mozartbach1971 

 

  1. In My eBay, click the 'Account' tab and then click 'Communication Preferences' in the drop-down menu.
  2. In the section titled 'Delivery Options', click 'Show' next to 'Notification Delivery Format'.
  3. Enter the email address to send member-to-member messages and or to receive member to member messages
  4. Click Save.

Can you tell me where specifically you go on Google to get one?

@luckythewinner Im stealing that analogy. I can see someone in a google shirt on Halloween going "Hey kids, instead of candy, have some free Gmail accounts!" and they hand out slips with Gmail account info.

I'm not sure what you think s/he's asking, but the OP is wondering how to create an email account like Gmail or Yahoo or Hotmail or AOL or whatever email service providers are still out there. 

 

Your instructions don't seem to have anything to do with how to go about creating a second email account.

If you want to get just another email address, go to Gmail sign up and fill in the details.

You will get the new email in a few seconds. Moreover, for changing the user names,

please check the username policy.

I googled both however, I'm not sure where I go from there.  What links do I click on?, etc.   I'm pretty sure I have an account with Google as I posted a couple videos on Youtube.

I'm a little confused - are you saying you don't know how to research to create a new email address?

 

1.  Get one with your current provider.

2. If you have a google account, you can get a gmail address  https://edu.gcfglobal.org/en/gmail/setting-up-a-gmail-account/1/

If I get an e-mail doing this will it in any way affect my current e-mail that I have?  I use my current e-mail to do all my business and I don't want that affected in any way.
