Changing the username

Is it possible to change the username in a newly created account without risking any account suspension? Initially I entered my name but now I have a  proper  store name which I would like to use in my account. Can I amend that?

Since you are in Sri Lanka, I believe that you will need to register as a business with a foreign currency bank account in order to comply with the laws in your country, (which require you to deposit funds that received for your business into a bank account in your country, from your Payoneer account, within a certain time frame).

 

Then, you will need to register a Payoneer account for your business, and the name, address and account type for the Payoneer account and your eBay account all need to match exactly. If you haven't started registering your Payoneer account yet, then you can make changes and updates to your eBay account now, as long as everything matches when you do the rest of the registrations.

Re: Changing the username

Not a problem at all.  People do it all the time and their is no penalty. It would be advisable in your case.  Your ID is rather long and unfamiliar to those who don't understand your language.  Less characters and focus on what your site is selling.  Less is more!! Good luck to you.

Re: Changing the username
