Does your eBay name need to be the same as your LLC's DBA name?

[bluewin_45]

If you have an LLC for your eBay selling business, do you have to sell under your LLC or your "Doing Business As" (DBA) name?  In other words, does your eBay name have to match your DBA name, maybe for legal reasons?  Or can it be something completely unrelated to your LLC name or any DBA that is set up under that LLC?

This might be a dumb question -- but I searched and couldn't find anything that specifically answers it.

Your user ID can be anything.

But your account information must match your bank account information for Managed Payments.

If you have an LLC like "Blue Windows, LLC" with a Business Checking Account as "Blue Windows, LLC"  the Business Name on eBay must be "Blue Windows, LLC" with your EIN and your name under the owner information.

All info must match how you report income to the IRS

Thanks, that is actually what I thought from my research, and that clarifies it for me.  Good deal, thank you.
