Title: Why did you choose your eBay username?
Post by: trout on September 08, 2013, 08:44:20 PM
I have seen all sorts of usernames on eBay, Just wondering why you chose yours :ok:
When I first registered for eBay I was in charge of 1200 angus breeders and I am originally from the UK so I chose "Pommystockman" as my username.
It would be interesting to find out why you chose your identity on eBay :good:

Even way back when I joined eBay in 2002, all the names I could think of involving some variant of "Sap" were already taken. After trying about half a dozen and having them all bounce back as unusable, I read through eBay's helpful guidelines and suggestions on picking a username. They suggested using your hobby, or your occupation. That sounded like a good idea so I used both. Hence, "numismatichemist".

Yeah what AJ said. I wanted to go on ebay so I had to come up with a name. They wouldn't let me use the name I use here which I've been using in online forums since the 1990s. Actually, its more a number than a name but that's another story. :read:

Without thinking about it much I pinched this guys name:
(http://users.tpg.com.au/r9453//mrcurly.jpg)
but apparently he's already on ebay so I added 2013.

Less than a minute later I was hitting the bid button. :cool:

Seeing as how I joined way back when James Cook was in nappies, my actual name was still available, so I just went with that. The harder part was getting an aussie address into the US formatting, so I live in a pretty wierd non-existent place. ;)
