Changing eBay Handle - Good Idea or Bad?

I've been toying with the idea of changing my eBay handle for a while now. I joined up to eBay way before I got back into comics, and seeing as we used a bank account with my wife's maiden name on it we just took the first handle eBay suggested. Now I'm contemplating changing it to Boozad to match my board handle, I use it on other forums too and that's really the 'name' associated with me amongst comic forums.

 

My line of thinking is that if somebody comes across one of my listings there's no real connection to who's selling stuff. If I changed it then people would know who they're buying from, whether that would help or hinder I don't know! The downside is since I've been selling comics on eBay I've had quite a few return customers who do come back for more, so if I changed my handle now it may lose me customers who know who I am on eBay.

 

So would it be a good idea or bad?

Good idea unless you have a stalker then it just makes it easier for them to find you.

 

No stalkers I'm afraid...

 

When are the tryouts?

As long as your wife doesn't have any dealings on there, what can it hurt?
