username

How do I find a member with a username that I know to see if he is still registered?

I think you do a normal ebay search - Advanced - by seller

Try this link

Type - users - into the search all content - hit search

Then in the search bar type the users name.

I think that as long as a member is an eBay member, they will also be registered here.

None of the those searches work ideally.

What if they're not a seller?

And what if they've never visited the forum?

That's why I posted the link above. They don't need to be a seller or forum user... it's for finding an eBay member, which is exactly what the OP asked to do

If it is for eBay in general, I normally use a very simple method. I use this link https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/ + the username...

So far I have tried every link and recommendation on this thread and this is how they all ended up. None are working for me.

Papermoon's link worked the best for me (see post 😎

Tried it in firefox and chrome and comes up as an error for me.

Also for me - with Edge

It works with all browsers for me. I just add the username after https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/ without anything else.

If you click on any member's feedback or listings here for example and then go to their homepage, it is always like above... Not sure why it does not work on some computers.

OP - this would be the link with your username for example: https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/rover41music

Just replace your username with any other username to go to their page, It works for me...

Re: username

papermoon.lady — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 03:02:18 GMT

Some (very few) pages seem to have str instead of usr...

Re: username

imastawka — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 04:53:31 GMT

It still all hinges on whether they've visited the forum though, doesn't it?

What if you want to find someone who hasn't been to the forums?

Re: username

papermoon.lady — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 05:04:11 GMT

That link + username is independent of the forum.

I have a list of sellers I found interesting, but not enough to save them as favourite sellers, and I have the links in a file, all in that format (with only a couple with str instead of usr). Most of them probably never visited the forum. It is just how the urls of eBay profiles usually are.

When you click on that link it goes immediately into an error. However, if you type it out exactly as the link and then put the persons username into it then it works. It is a pity the link won't hold and you have to type the whole thing out. So what I have done is put one username in as a saved link and if I want to search for someone else I just change the username at the end. That works, thanks.

Re: username

papermoon.lady — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 21:03:25 GMT

The link works for me. I have just checked again.

If it does not work for you though and you don't want to have to type it out every time, something I also do is go to my feed, saved sellers, then just click on a saved seller and when the page opens I change the username (the last part of the url)...
