Changed User ID Icon

Sometimes existing users change their User ID for a variety of reasons. For example, a user may change their User ID to reflect a new line of items they are selling.

It's important to learn as much as possible about your eBay trading partner (whether a potential buyer or seller).

Identifying users who have changed their User IDs

The "changed ID" icon Changed User ID (less than 30 days) next to a User ID tells you that the user has changed his or her User ID within the last 30 days. It's there to help you keep track of your trading partners. The "changed id" icon appears next to a changed User ID for 30 days after a User ID is modified.

When a user modifies their User ID:

  • The change will appear immediately, even for listings in which the user is participating at that time.
  • eBay will automatically attach the user's feedback profile and other important account information to the new User ID.

Reviewing an eBay member's User ID history

You can review a member's User ID History from the Find Members page.
