History Behind Names

[toys2cool]

Mine I got when my nephew was just a baby,I was trying to figure out an ebay name and my nephew kept pointing at my toys and saying toys 2 cool!!! So we all cracked up and I just stuck with it

[Vortigern99]

Mine is the Dark Age British king Vortigern, who gave the Anglo-Saxons vast tracts of formerly "Celtic" land, and who tried to sacrifice the boy Merlin on the foundation stones of his castle. The '99' is both the year I created the e-mail account that goes with it, and a really cool-sounding sci-fi numeration a-la "Nekron-99" from WIZARDS.

[JPkempo]

JP my initials kempo the martial arts I have a 2nd deg black belt in.

[Adam West]

When I joined, I was also collecting vintage lunchboxes. The lunchbox I had as a kid was Adam-12. So in trying to come with a name, I wanted something I could remember easily and the only Adam I could think of quickly was Adam West (aka Batman) which is why I chose the Batman avatar (even though I'm a bigger Spider-man fan).

[jessica]

I just stuck with my first name.

[grayhank]

Mine was supposed to be Gary Kahn (named after Gangis' little brother) but I mispelled it.

[Action Burt]

Mine was by accident
While posting some pictures of Action men figures on the best Action Man forum someone commented that one on the moustached figures looked like Burt Reynolds......and Action Burt was born.

Im currently on Action Burt Mk 3

[jwyblejr]

[PCofmisfittoys]

Along with everything else I collect Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer items for years ( rankin/bass) for PC ( computer) of misfit ( rudolph) toys ( toys..)

It was also one of my many names to be punted off ebay back in the day of ulimited accounts. I think it was a women , but not sure.

[fallensaviour]

Many years ago I was a paramedic hence the savior part.But it was taken all over the place so being Canadian I added the u = saviour.
After a divorce and some serious drinking I decided to walk away from my life as a paramedic = fallen. That's how I came up with; fallensaviour.

[HardyGirl]

I am one of Shaun Cassidy's biggest fans, (I even have my own website), so naturally someone who loves the Hardy Boy should be called The HardyGirl!

Why would anyone need multiple accounts? And do you still have those?

Not that it's anyone's business but my own, but ....

back when ebay was new and even before it was actually called ebay you could bid on your listed item once per the rules. Instead of putting up reserves and doing all that you would just bid on your item once.
Also back then you didn't have all the" hyper-senstive" security that they have now and you could register mult. names . Over the years I had any number of them for selling and buying separately.
i only have two now. One for selling with the most feedback points now and a backup one that i use very rarely just to build feedback off and on. It's not a sellers account and i mainly use it for gifts for others so they don't know what i am buying.
