I'm considering changing my username from 'chrissyc' to 'mommacude' on eBay, but I'm afraid it would look bad. I have a (42) rating, not a huge number, but I have been 'messing around' on eBay for a few years. I want to start getting serious and I don't really go by the name chrissy any more.

Go ahead and change your name. Your feedback will stay with your new name as long as you don't create a new account.

Name changes on eBay are no big deal. Go ahead and change -- you'll have shades for 30 days, but that won't matter to most people.

OK, thanks. . .I was worried that the 'shades' would chase people off. But if they can still see my rating I guess it shouldn't matter.

If you have an about me page, you could start that with a simple explanation of the name change, that may stop some fears from potential bidders who see the shades and wonder why you changed.
