Like a lot of folks, I started on eBay as a buyer, so my username was just a name I thought up as I registered.
Now, as I'm designing a web page, I'd like to have my username on eBay relate to what I'm going to call my web page.
Has anyone ever changed their username? If so, were any of your buyers confused? I'm assuming that if I do change it, but all of my contact info stays the same, I get to keep my feedback - is that correct?

I changed mine from the long one I started with (live & learn) to a shorter, easier to remember one. No problem w/buyers.

AND your feedback DOES stay with you.
(also... you'll get the "shades" icon for a period of 30 days so that folks will know that you recently changed your User I.D.) Everything remains "related" so that the transition is virtually seamless.

I have seen some ignorant sellers put in their TOS "no bids from shades (sunglasses)". They think you are hiding something (not true of course).
You might want to add for that month, "formerly known as..."
