How do I recover an old account? I tried making a new account, but I never got the money on the bids I accepted.

To recover an old eBay account, you should try to reset your password using the email associated with that account. Look for the “Forgot Password?” link on the sign-in page. If you can't access the email or the account is permanently closed, follow the specific recovery instructions provided on eBay's website.
