See many Sellers, even long- timers, changing up their Store/Selling IDs to be their "real" picture.
Think this helps Sellers connect to a potential Buyer? Personalizes your offerrings? Helps if using social media to connect to e-Bay to sell your wares?

It would surely hurt my sales if buyers saw the old hag they are buying from.

I will never understand why some people feel the need to plaster their faces all over the internet as if anyone else cares. On Facebook, sure, since that's the point, but on any other site? Why do you need/want to know what I look like? If someone is going to choose to buy from me, it should be because they think I will deliver good service, not because they think I'm attractive or whatever. That shouldn't have any bearing on anything.

I think it is the social media of today
So many want to be "social media influencers" and want/desire that recognition/income
Just look at the Thousands+ of "eBay" sellers on YouTube promoting their Instagram/Facebook

I use avatars to help me remember which account I am using at the moment.
Interestingly one of my avatars is decidedly masculine.
When I post with that avatar, responses are more polite and more likely to be accepted than when I post with this one, even though in some cases the responses are idendical copypasta.

I think (IMO) it's not going to make any difference, as in increased sales, to change your profile picture to your show your mug. I don't think anyone wishes to see your picture anymore then care to know your real name. I personally feel that ebay isn't a place to disclose your life, or whatever else. To me, it's a business, your here to make money, period. As a side, I don't like nor use social media. I don't want social media monitoring me and trying to control my actions, choices, and speech. I don't need social media for anything, especially my business. I don't care if ebay gives FVF breaks for using social media to sell etc.
My profile photo is a logo (ebay only) I created and use here. People see it who have invested transactions and see it my listings and they know who are dealing with - no picture of myself required. My buyers don't need my picture, they need what they ordered, they need it delivered as described, without damage and as fast as they can get it, anything else they don't care about - your picture, your name, your life story - it's all irrelevant - stick to the business of being professional, complete the transaction and later IF someone wants to chat about stuff, fine, but up front, as a buyer to seller they just want, I just want, for a good transaction experience.

my sister helped create my logo...she does desktop publishing stuff for big pharma
my logo is actually an ebauche symbol composed of 3 parts
I made a $500 donation to the Bucks county SPCA and that got me started donating to them since its easy to do/setup thru paypal or whoever manaages the software for selecting who to donate to
my logo has a serial number and is registered with the USPTO as well as vintaevixen ftl
my logo has the eye of providence which is a nod to my ancestors from the lost city of Providence MD
which is known as Annapolis.

Well, I do not know about your DL pix, but I am certain your "usual" pix is just adorable!
And certainly NV needs to consider raising their legal driving age! I do not even wanna know how you see over the hood!

Your post made me think about changing mine. Not with my picture (don't want to scare the kids), but with something else. Anyone care to guess what my current avatar is?

My biggest fear during making love is that the Chorizo and egg burrito I had earlier is going to come back and haunt me! 😁
