https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Seller-Central/Being-asked-to-upgrade-to-business-account/m-p/7750878#M695489 <P>Could there possibly be an argument that private sellers should be required to use their own names (probably with a number added) as their user names, instead of more "business-like" names?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>There have been a number of similar posts to this one, and a common factor seems to be that the user name suggests it is a business. I think many of these sellers deliberately choose their user names to give the impression that they are businesses, and then get annoyed when eBay takes that view.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>In this case, from the user name, I would expect the account to be selling "oddities". If he's just selling off junk, what will he do when he has a spoon to sell? That could hardly be described as an "oddity".</P> Fri, 17 Jan 2025 10:39:39 GMT vinylscot 2025-01-17T10:39:39Z
