Why is an Ebay Username Important?

If you are mostly a buyer on ebay then your username is not very important. If you are a seller on ebay and you have other online properties (websites, web pages) that are somehow related or relative to your ebay business activities, then your ebay username can be very important.

For example, if you sell shoes on ebay and you have a website where you sell or review shoes, then it makes good business sense to try to have your ebay username be the same as your website url as well as have a link in your ebay profile to your website.

So if your website where you sell shoes is www.bargaindressshoes.com then your ebay username should be bargaindressshoes or as close to that as possible. In addition, you should have a link in your ebay profile to your website as well as a link from your website to your ebay profile. It is called congruity and it is extremely important for the visibility of your website and your ebay account and the search engine rankings of both your ebay profile and your website.

Any other online profiles you have such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc., should also have the same exact username if possible. If you are serious about building your ebay business, if you don't yet have a website or other online properties, then get busy building your online presence as this can give you a huge advantage over other people selling on ebay.

Also, consider that having lots of online profiles that have the same username as your ebay username will really help to build your credibility and a sense of trust potential ebay buyers will have in you when they see they can find you all over the place on the internet.

Don't forget to include multiple ways people can contact you quickly with questions including a phone number and email address, at the very least.
