What's an email service that ebay doesn’t classify as a free account?

"Buyers. These eBay members can only bid and buy items, with no restrictions other than those imposed by negative feedback or other eBay sanctions that can get them kicked off the venue for malfeasance. The only requirement to sign up is a valid e-mail address from an .e-mail service that eBay doesn’t classify as a free account That means that no-cost e-mail accounts from Hotmail, Yahoo, Bigfoot, or other similar services (particularly those that are web-based) cannot be used alone to register with eBay. Those e-mail accounts can be created anonymously, and eBay wants to filter out unidentified users as well as it can. You can still use those accounts to register, but eBay will ask you to also provide your credit card or debit card information." Also is there a fee you must pay for the account?

1. If you have an email account with your ISP, Work, or School. Those will all work.
2. I don't know about fees, but when I registered with eBay some years ago, I could not use my Yahoo email account. Since I have my private and personal email in Outlook, I used that email address. I think that's what they are asking for.
3. Any e-mail account that you got from your ISP, School or work and or government should work Examples: @sbcglobal.net, @yourschool.edu, @governmentagency.gov
4. I don't know about the US, but it worked for me with my Gmail account.
