Changing Name

[i-love-my-sheep]

I am wanting to change my eBay ID because due to a fox attack yesterday morning, I no longer have any of my chooks. I currently have items listed and some have bids, would it confuse the bidders if I changed it now, or should I wait until I have nothing with bids?

Thanks!

Sorry about your chooks, Chooks.  I was going to say that it would be best to wait, but you are always going to get new bidders.

I think it would be ok to change your name now and you can answer any queries if any buyers are worried.

You could change your name to ilovedmychooks and then hardly anyone would notice but I suppose you are a bit upset about the whole thing.

Poor thing.   Sorry to hear that.

Thanks to both of you! The most upsetting part was losing my almost 12yo duck. Had her since she was a few weeks old. She lived way past her life expectancy, but was still really healthy. I expected to go down there one day and find her gone from old age......not like this. I feel like I let her down. At least being a fox, it would've have been a quick end.....just not pleasant for us to find.

My new name will be similar, so hopefully no-one gets confused!!

I liked joono's idea of  ilovedmychooks

BAH!!!! The one I wanted was already taken!!! Who'd have thought?! So, I modified it slightly with some dashes. I guess it will change on here when I time out and have to log back in?

You have to sign out on an ebay page - not a community page.

Then sign back in   🙂

Oh dear, I am not sure that substituting sheep for chooks was a great idea.   You may be mistaken for someone else, especially on CS.

That's so sad and upsetting.

I'm a primary school teacher and for a while we had chooks and ducks all set up beautifully at the school where I was working. The senior kids were able to look after all the needs of the birds, without much imput from the teachers and they loved it.

Unfortunately, they also fell prey to foxes. The worst thing was that the kids discovered it first and it was really traumatising for them !!

There was a drake and he put up a valient fight to try and protect the other birds, it was clear to see. In the end, not a successful one. Very upsetting to think about, even now !!

I really empathise !!!

Ahhh, oK, I just refreshed my eBay pages and it changed it. I'll try logging out and logging back in again.

Lyndal, I'm confused LOL (that's not hard though!!)
