How Can I Change My Username Now
Summary: stevew-805 is experiencing a problem with changing their eBay username after mistakenly updating it following an identity verification request. They changed their username to part of their real name, which was not required, and now face a 30-day waiting period to change it again. They reached out to customer service, who could not assist. kensgiftshop confirmed that there is no way to bypass the 30-day limit.
Hey Everyone,
This may sound like a very simple post but, this is more problematic than it may seem. So, couple days ago I logged in to find out that ebay is asking me to verify my identity. That's not a problem except they want me to include my new name without confirming exactly where they wanted me to change my name.
So, I decided to go ahead and change my username to part of my real name. This was a huge mistake on my part since that wasn't where they wanted me to change it apparently. Seen that there is a 30 day limit for username changes and I have to wait until the end of the month.
This is a huge problem since it's not my DBA nor any other name used for my business. Had made a call over there to customer service and they just told me tough luck basically. Does anyone here know if there is a way to change your username sooner than the 30 day limit (think it's stupid). Any help would be appreciated.
