Make Money on eBay

To sell on eBay, you need an eBay ID!

When you sell an item on eBay, it will be called the "seller's ID" - if you buy, it becomes the "buyer's ID". Think of it like an AOL login or a MSN messenger ID or a ICQ nickname or a …. It's simply a handle for you to identify yourself on eBay.

You must provide three thingees. They are:

• Your information - Name, address, phone Your email address - This is so you can receive notifications of when you sell an item or are the successful bidder of one.

• Your eBay ID - This is your own personal nickname that you yourself choose. Want a special tip for deciding what it is? Try to make it something either descriptive about:
  
• What you want to sell such as jesscomputers, amydesign, or markcars
• Your geographic area such as bobtexas, rickcentralnj, or bethorem
• Your specialization such as momof4, dadoftwins, or gurumarketer

If your ID is already taken, you can simply append numbers after it such as subltetouch18 or mathmaster47.

In addition, eBay states on their site that IDs:

• May contain letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and/or many symbols.
• Must be at least (2) characters long.
• Are case sensitive.
• Can't contain spaces.
• Can't be obscene, profane or hateful.

And IDs can't contain:

• The "@" symbol.
• The "&" (ampersand) symbol.
• The letter "e" followed by numbers.
• URLs (for example xyz.com).
• The word, "eBay."

Only eBay employees may use "eBay" in their User IDs. This is to prevent non-employees from posing as employees.

What if you choose an ID and then want to change it? Not to fear - you can switch your ID easily to another one later on.
