Ebay Store name

How do you name your store so that it is easy for people to find if you put it on a business card?

eBay suggests keeping it simple, and make it something that represents what you sell. So something like Pams Closet, instead of Zebra Stripes, although personally I like Zebra Stripes as it is easy to remember :).

Your buyers are going to know you by your user ID as much as your store name, so I think simple and memorable is best.

There is a search for items in stores, but I bet that doesn’t get used too much anymore, so I look at a store more as a financial tool.

Thanks.  When I think of a name I'll change it.  I'm assuming I go into my account and settings to change the name.  Thanks for your responses.

Actually, I just noticed that you don't have a store 🙂 But the same could easily apply to your user ID.

If you find yourself going over the 250 free insertions, it might be worthwhile to see if a store subscription would save you some $.

Looks like I need to research how to start a store.  I actually just thought when you started on Ebay you automatically started a store.  Silly me.  Thank you so much for your help.

Your listings are tied to your ID, so they’re all in one place, just as if you had a store.  On eBay, a store is more of a financial tool - once you can make use of it.  

It is the other ‘e’ that give you a shop automatically - it is their way to tie your listings to you.

Not sure what the other "e" is, but you show up as wooden_flower which I think is a great name.  I'd just like to be able to tell someone how to find my stuff easily.  I thought a business card would do it.  Thank you for your responses.  You have been a help to me.
