I have never ever used it. DH has and many of my friends have so I thought I would have a look and I would like to get into it. But I feel a little stupid in that I can't think of a decent username. How does one decide? Any advice for a beginner most appreciated.

just use something you are comfy with a name and then add a few letters to make it unique Terrar123 :)

If all you do is buy stuff and occasionally sell things your username is not really important.

If you are planning on doing a lot of selling and want people to remember that they have bought from you before then it is more useful to have a memorable name or one that relates to the sort of thing that you sell.

If you want to look into a name more deeply (like I do Blush I think along the lines of - I probably would be reluctant to spend much money with a member called tatforsale or felloffbackoflorry62, I probably wouldn't buy used clothing from serialkiller47 or foolingtheforensics123. Grin

if you are selling your clothes, toys kids clothes etc then just a nice name really - I've seen lots that use names like kateandemmamum, even fluffyjen or sparklekitty make you feel safe to part with money Hmm Grin

apologies to anyone called serialkiller or sparklekitty Grin
