First Name Basis

imastawka — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:52:42 GMT

Why has ebay suddenly started saying 'G'day Imastawka!'

I noticed it earlier today.

I thought we were friends, on a first name basis

How odd. Mine hasn't changed. What did it call you before today?

My real name.

Made a trip to 'Murrica to do some lists that got lost over there.

US ebay said 'Hi, real name!'

Feel all sad and forgotten now

Does yours say' G'day cq tech!' or 'G'day real name!'?

Darn it. They broke up with me. And not even a text.

Beware a woman scorned.

Ebay thinks all is forgiven

Strangely enough, it has always called me William on the AU site, and I can neither remember nor even care what the yankee site calls me. Don't worry stawks; I still remember your real name (and how to pronounce it).

I'm K5 today.

If you hover over the name it shows both.

Maybe it just alternates between the two.

They already tried that, believe it or not.

It was active circa 2008-2009, as that's when I joined (2008) and first started posting in the forums (2009, with my first ID), but I can't remember when it was discontinued.

I remember there being a row of tabs at the top of my page, for eBay, eBay motors, the forums, and dating. (And yes, I trot out the same joke about no one ever complaining in the forum that there weren't measurements in listings, or that people were not as described, every opportunity I get ).
