User name change question

[Anonymous]

So I’m using my wife’s user name account and selling off my dads old comic book shop stock only because it was already set up when I started selling and it seemed easier that way. It confuses people because of the user name (Diva-Bag-Lady). I see if I change it I keep all my feedback rating but my real question is will the people already following me and search me with the old user name be able to still find me? I opened an eBay store so some are following me there and I believe e it would not effect them. I just don’t want to lose what people I have watching me because I change the username.

I doubt this. Buyer's rarely look at or care about a seller's username.

I have had a few people question the name when I reply to messages I always reply with my name at the bottom. also the name has nothing to do with what I’m selling. I’m selling off my dads old comic book shop inventory that I have been holding on to for 19 years. Not really sure that it matters people don’t search a name for the stuff they are looking for.

Hi @Anonymous 

Once you change your Username ... you will be able to be searched for by either ID for 30 days ... and your profile will indicate that you've had an ID change for 30 days.

Basically, your new name will simply replace your old one everywhere on eBay ... including on members' Saved sellers lists.  It may just seem unfamiliar if they don't check their lists regularly.

Thank you that’s what I was hoping to hear.
