eBay

Hi - Brand new to selling on Ebay but have been buying for a long time.

Is there a way to have 2 different "notification" email addresses associated with my E-Bay account, one for buying and one for selling? I have a new E-Bay store, managed by my online sales manager. My company also purchases parts from E-bay, but it's done by a different person. Both the buying and selling must remain associated with the same PayPal account, but I'd like buying and selling notifications to go to different email addresses. Is this possible?

Thanks!

It is a good idea to have different IDs for buying and selling and each ID is required to have its own email address, usually backed by its own credit card.

However, the IDs can share a Paypal account.

So it is not only possible, it is actually required.

BTW, if you have been buying for some time and have built up feedback, switch that account to the selling account. Use a new account for buying, where feedback is much less important.

Sorry, but each eBay account has just one email address, and each email address can only be used on one eBay account.

Many sellers prefer to keep their buying and selling on separate accounts anyway, so that buyers can't see how much you (the seller) paid for the item that they (the buyer) just purchased from you. You can have multiple eBay accounts attached to your PayPal Business Account, so you would be able to get that part of what you need done even if you have to use different eBay accounts.

eBay does offer some Listing Management tools, which might be able to give you what you want. You will have to check out their features and see what they have to offer. I have not used these myself, so I'm sorry, but I can't give you a personal recommendation.
