updating my Email address

[yosser1945]

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
