If you sell at more than one site do you use the same user ID for each location??
What are the pros and cons of doing so?

I sell on Yahoo, Ebay, Half.com, and Amazon (well used to on Amazon, haven't listed there in ages because it died).
I use the same alias on all sites except yahoo - my name was already taken there (although if it was by me, I can't find any info on it).
I think the big bonus here is name recognition across the sites. Since some buyers shop outside of the Ebay castle walls, seeing my name, if they've had Ebay transactions with me in the past, will instill a bit of confidence in my ability as a seller - or at least I'd like to think so. 8)

I sell only on eBay now, but have sold in the past on Amazon, Golds and Yahoo. Recently registered and bought on ePier.
I use several id's on eBay, but do not use any of them on other sites. I use the same id on all non-eBay sites though.
