well, maybe it's justified, if i don't get a new email address my only pathetic source for parts will be alot harder to use. see, i need to change my email address that my ebay account is tied to, and hotmail won't work without a credit card. i don't have my own yet, as i am just out of college and semi-on-my-own and hate credit card companies out of principle anyway. anybody know of an email provider that you can just sign up with, like hotmail, that works with ebay? i'm working on getting my credit card set up, but the one time i need one they of course won't send me a damned application saying i'm preapproved. all started when i had to use my college email address because it isn't "anonymous (but hey, you gotta give your name for hotmail, don't you??)." well, i graduated, and supposedly have 6 months to use it still, it's been 4 months and i think they just shut me off with no warning. so, i tried to change the email address it is linked to, but no luck. so i'm kinda screwed. any help would be appreciated, and i apologize for the off topic crap. i'll try to delete it when and if i find anything out.

Have you tried Yahoo? I don't know if they needed my Credit bullshit or not. I will say this, I don't get any junk mail in my Yahoo account. I get about 60 per day in Hotmail, but 0 in my yahoo account. Ebay accepts my yahoo also.

That is odd, I use my yahoo with egay. I'd tell you to get in touch with them, but you'd have better luck contacting the Wizard of Oz.
