    odd question I know...Ebay needs an email address with an ISP in the address i.e. [email protected]; [email protected] etc

    I was using freeserve but its decided to block all emails for no apparent reason and freeserve's customer service consists of computer generated replies all saying the same old rubbish

    I was also using a [email protected] account but since thats switched to bt.yahoo.com that email address has stopped working too..

    so, if anyones got a spare @tiscali, @aol, @ntl or any other that they wouldn't mind lending me for the forseeable future could they let me know please?

    Thanks

    Rory

    i think you need to go with a web based email service. yahoo,hotmail etc. would do. this would bypass your outlook express

    The best web based e-mail service (IMHO) is FastMail. They have several levels of account including free ones. It's very fast and very well featured. It blows things like hotmail into the weeds :)

    no...you can't use web-based email addresses for Ebay. it needs to be an email address from an Internet Service Provider (e.g. NTL, Tiscali etc)

    I've setup [email protected]. Mail me for more info.

    Edited to add: I just noticed you seem to own a domian -- why not setup a temp e0mail account there?
