Just curious.. I'm thinking about changing my Ebay username to something more friendly. I'm just wondering how important it is to potential bidders on Ebay that I have a friendly username? I don't have an awful name like 666_Devil or something like that, but I wonder if a friendly username helps with selling?

TIA,

Sal

username doesn't matter to me at all. feedback is far more important.

So if I joined Ebay right now people might be a little hesitant to buy from/sell to me huh? :evil:

Hmm maybe I'll start selling knives, swords, and cattle prods. Free delivery and a demonstration of every product sold. 100% satisfaction guaranteed or else. ;)

I could probably do pretty good in the tatoo & body piercing field too...

usernames don't mean anything unless it's extremely odd....and even then, it probably doesn't make a difference.

Feedback is much more important than the username. It could be something cute and generic: "Treasures4u", or something more specific: "SexyClothesShop", "MoviesNMore", etc. or something else you specialize in.

It's a minor factor -- I subtract a couple of positives from a l33t h4x0r name or rapgangsta name since I figure they're a bit less mature than BobInKansas. If both Bob and l33tkill4hd00d are selling something and have close to the same feedback I'll bid on Bob's auction first.

I doubt it will change anything, it all depends on your past evaluations, how you list the auction (is it pretty and informative), are your prices competitive and do you rip off on shipping or are you fair?
