eBay

I want it change my username on another selling platform, but also use the same name for my eBay store. Before I make the change on the other platform, I need to find out if that specific username is already taken on eBay. I know HOW to change my username , but cannot find anywhere on eBay’s site how to check the availability of it. Any suggestions? The eBay chat bot never actually shows up to offer help.

You can test usernames by adding the new name in place of your name to the following profile URL

https://www.ebay.com/usr/kater747

When you encounter "sorry, this user was not found", you will know the name is available.

For example:

This username is taken:

https://www.ebay.com/usr/testing123

and this username is not:

https://www.ebay.com/usr/testing1234

@kater747 The only way to know if it's taken on eBay or not is to go ahead and try to change it. If it is taken then the system tells you.
