This might seem like a rather obvious one, so I will keep this short and sweet.
Always remember that you are not limited to having one e-mail account. If you are starting something new, like trading on e-bay or an auction site, rather than use your normal regular e-mail, where you communicate with your friends and family, create and new e-mail to take queries etc;
Use and account that you are not worried closing, especially as when you trade online the chance of you receiving phising e-mails are increased, and you don't want to send an e-mail to everyone you know to say you are closing your personal account.
It's just a piece of lateral thinking, but it's effective lateral thinking!
