Unable to change email 'Already taken! '

[flightsgt]

Hi. I am changing my email. When I enter my new email it says 'Already take' It is my Gmail! I have had it for many years. The useless help bot doesn't help it just points me back. It becomes a loop. Can anyone help please. Thank you.

Have you used it previously on eBay?IF so it cannot be reused

The simple solution to this would be to open a second gmail account to use with Ebay only.

Apparently I had opened another account but not finished it off. I have managed to log into it and closed it. Thanks for the reply.

I have been onto eBay. Apparently I opened another eBay account. I don't remember why I must have done that. I found the log in details and closed that account. Thanks for the replay.

I think you will still find that you can't reuse that email.

You should be able to reuse the email once the original account has been closed for thirty days - that's how it has worked for me before.
