eBay is forcing users to change from an email address
to an alias? This is
the first I've heard about it. I know they won't let you get a new account
and use your email address as they want to control peoples ability to reach
you. I've not seen anything that says that I have to change mine to an
alias. Personally I like that people are able to easily find my email
address on eBay.
I'm a regular buyer on eBay Germany, and they have implemented it. About a fortnight
ago or so, I was told that I couldnt log-in anymore with my e-mail address, but only with
my alias. When you want to send a message to a seller, you must use a link provided with
the item you want to bid on. It is then up to him to send you an e-mail with his real
address.
