If you’re a eBay user, you know that it can be difficult to keep your username current. You might have multiple usernames, or you might have just created a new one. In any case, it’s important to keep your username current so that people can easily find you on eBay. Here are some tips on how to change your eBay username:

  1. Log in to eBay and create a new account. This will give you a new username and password.
  2. Change your username on the main eBay page. This will update your username in all of the listings and pages that use that name.
  3. Use an alias if you want to use a different username for different purposes or if you want to avoid being tracked by eBay. An alias is simply a shortened form of your full name or other identifying information. For example, if you’re John Doe, then an alias would be “jdoe.”
  4. Use an online service like Nameberry to generate new usernames for yourself or for other people in your network who need them temporarily (like when traveling). Nameberry allows users to create up to 10 usernames per account and keeps them updated with changes so that they don’t have to remember every single one!

If you’ve changed your identity, or you’d just like to use a different name, it’s easy to change your eBay username. We’ll show you how to do that for your account.

What to Know When Changing Your eBay Username

When you change your username, eBay shows your new username across its entire platform. Your account information and feedback score are transferred to your new name.

When you compose a new username, make sure it has at least six characters. It can include letters, numbers, and some symbols. However, you can’t add a space or any of the following characters in your username: @, &, ‘, (, ), <, >

Also, note that you can only change your eBay username once every 30 days.

Update Your eBay Username

To start the username change process, open a web browser on your device and launch the eBay site. On the site, sign in to your account.

In eBay’s top-left corner, hover your cursor over your name. Then, in the menu that opens, click “Account Settings.”

A “My eBay” page will open. Here, in the “Personal Info” section, click “Personal Information.”

On the “Personal Info” page, next to “Username,” click “Edit.”

Your “Username” field is now editable. Click this field, type the new username of your choice, and then click “Save.”

And that’s all there is to it. Your eBay username is now changed, and this new name will be used from now onwards.

To protect your eBay account, consider setting up two-factor authentication. It will ensure unauthorized users don’t get access to your account.
