Were you aware that it's free to sign up on eBay and start
bidding and buying? Yes indeed - all you need to get the
ball rolling on eBay is an eBay ID (once
you win an item, you do need to pay for it, of course....
look to the Buying on eBay
page for details on that).
Think of your eBay ID like a Yahoo Mail ID or an AOL Messenger
name or a ICQ nickname or a .. It's simply a handle by which
you identify yourself on eBay.
You must have ready
three bits of information
when you register for free on eBay. These include:
- 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. Be creative -
-
If you're a sports enthusiast, you could choose something like
joelovesfootball or
masterclimberjill.
- If you live
in the north east, you could use
barbfromny or
benofflorida.
- Do you love
pets instead? Consider something like
bassethound007 or
eaglesarecool.
And so
on, and so on.
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.
