TOT: Changing Username on Ebay

I know this is totally off topic, but does anyone know if I can change my
username on Ebay without losing my existing status and sales feedback. Or
would I start form scratch? And would Paypal need to be registered again?
All I want to do is change my username from a personal name to a business
name that is more appropriate to the goods I sell.

Thanks for any advice.

Yes, go to eBay, click "Help", type "change username" into the search box.
You don't need to register with Paypal again.

You can change your user ID. Log onto ebay, go to my account /
personal information and select edit user ID.

Last time I checked (and it was long time ago) changing your user name will
cause a warning to be displayed alongside your feedback rating for the first
month after the change.

Yeha you can do it, Just use the instructions brightside gave you. You
have an icon on your feeback pages which shows people that you have
changed your username, but it done cause any probs. After you change
your name you cannot chage it again for 30 days.
