updating my Email address

yosser1945 — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 16:08:23 GMT

Hi Team.

I Lost my yahoo address which I have had for the last 20 years

but my wife bought me a new Google pixsel 9a mobile . and I wasnt geting codes ,

So could not sign in --cut a long story short I made several attempts but it shut me out

And so I had to try and get a new recovery email , so got one from gmail

which I had years ago . and Imanaged to revived it and managed to remember my old password .

and seveal other security quesions , and at last

And received a message this is your new recovery address

Account recovered successfully

Account recovered successfully. but when I try to update my email for ebay purposes

they wont accept it so what do I have to do ,any ideas

And trying to get a new email address like a recovery addres is a nightmare , due to the hight

security .

Best regards Les Hughes.

I think it may be because an email address already used cannot be used again, so you may need to create a completely new address.

Many thanks John , I think you maybe right .

do you know how to creat a new email , if no recovery email is available .

It makes you wonder how any one as a real email if they insist on a recovery email
