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:

but apparently he's already on ebay so I added 2013.

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

Now I know who is biding on one of my offerings.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

Mine is eBay generated, but I'd like to change it one day.
