Last night, some one asked me: " I don't have website site to hold my picture, is there any company provide holding image service for monthly subscription ? "

After posted my yesterday blog, One person called me : "Ben, Can I Use Multiple eBay Account ? "

The answer is YES, you can do so !

Some buyers and sellers use more than one User ID and password. They have each account set aside for different purposes. eBay buyers and sellers set up two different accounts for a variety of reasons:-

• One account might be for selling, the other for buying.
  
• One might be for selling on behalf of one's office, the other for selling as an individual.
  
• One account might have funds deducted from a credit card, the other from a bank account.
  
• One account might be for you, the other for your spouse.

The options are up to you. If you want to set up multiple eBay account, you have to use different e-mail addresses and User ID for each one.

Yesterday, A friend of mine asked me this question:" CAN I Register On eBay With Company's Credit Card And Its Name ? "

Yes, you can use your company credit card to register another account. But, please be assured that the information on credit card like billing information and registration information, should match the one we have on file.

Please know that you can have multiple eBay accounts. However, all accounts will need a different User ID and email address. Many members find that they need two accounts if they sell/buy different types of items to keep things organized.

To create another account, just follow the same steps you did to create your account. Or, to learn more about Registration, please click the following URL:
