Trying to Add New Email and it is Already Taken???

[lauralovesdance]

I am havin an issue trying to add another email to my account so that I can receive payments from a more confidential email (that doesn't actually have my name in it). I just created this email account last night specificially for this purpose, but now when I log on and try to add it, it says that someone is already using it on here?? How does that make sense when only one person can own a single email address? I have tried calling to speak to a representative because this is the email I wanted to use and it is MINE, but all I get is automated prompts that are lading me nowhere.. Can someone please help or tell me how I can reach an actual representative?

Thank you,

Laura
