Mentor11 months agoI believe you can have up to 8 accounts, but hardly necessary.
Remember that all your accounts would be linked by ebay to you, so you cannot for example bid on your own items listed.

Mentor11 months agoIt's common for members to have a business account and a private account, to keep those sales separate.
Why do you think you might get into trouble? What are you planning to do with two accounts?

Mentor11 months agoNot at all. You can have as many IDs as you have email addresses. As long as they don't interact with each other.

Mentor11 months agoYes but when registering you will need to clear cookies or use a different browser.

Mentor11 months agoIf you don't it will keep remembering the other ID and flip back into it. It's a good idea to keep one browser for each ID.

Mentor11 months agoIf two accounts are managed on the same browser, account information and transactions from both accounts are liable to be retained in cookies. These are intended to make browsing quicker, by reloading previously viewed pages instead of downloading them.
Unfortunately the browser becomes confused if retaining details of two accounts, and transactions can suddenly appear in the wrong account.
As has been said, the simple answer is to clear cookies befpre changing accounts. Personally, I do this by routinely running ccleaner or Bleachbit in between accounts. This keeps everyhing clean and deletes unwanted clutter.

Mentor11 months agoJust log out of this one, clear cookies (or use a different browser) and register a new one using the same personal details but a different email address.

Mentor11 months agoYes, you can .
They have to be separate you cannot join them at any time, and the new one just needs a new username ID and new email address.
