Just for fun I tried it myself, I do have an email address, but no password.
Last time I bought something through eBay was May 2002, last privacy
update mail I got from them was January 2007.
As far as I can remember, I never got an account expiration warning.

Trying to log in gives account unknown.

Apparently unused accounts are expired without warning, or perhaps I
discarded the warning.
It looks like setting up a new account is your only option, I haven't
tried that.
