I'm not able to change my User ID. The system just won't let me save the change.

Hi Everyone,

 

I've read all the instructions for changing your User ID however they don't seem to work.  There is a glitch in the system that is preventing the user from making any changes to their User Id.

Are you including your email address in the id's you are trying?

 

 

If all else fails,and it is still happening in a day or two, there could well be (yet another,in a long line)of glitches happening and you might need to contact eBay about it

Usually if something is glitchy, it's suggested to clear out your browser cache and cookies (clear out for all time, not just the last 30 days). If that doesn't work, try again in a day or 2.

You can only change the ID once every 30 days.

The OP only created their account yesterday. You are allowed to change it from the eBay generated username straight away (unless that's changed). The you can only change it again after 30 days.

OP's ID doesn't look to be computer generated, so they'll have to wait.

 

Assuming they are asking about this one.

Also assuming the ID they're trying to change it to is available.

I've tried over 50 different ID's and an exclamation mark appears but there is no explanation.
