I originally developed a second id using the names of two shill bidders to a seller’s auction. I wanted to call his attention to the fact I was on to him. I finally got Ebay to NARU him for a month and he subsequently changed his userid. After two years I have zero feedback but occasionally use this id to bid on coins that I want to kill the BIN on, bid it up to a reasonable price to get it off the radar screen of the rippers and to conceal my identity because I always snipe.

    I ran a poll that seems to have disappeared after I edited my thread. With ten votes in, half had two or more userid's.

    Two real ones. One for buying and one for selling.

    I use one and only one, though I changed it years back as it identified me by name. If I start selling, I may change the name to reflect the business name. I don't have time for the games myself, since I have to spend the effort already to spot others' games already. The shilling is so bad over there and not as obvious all the time as it used to be. Not sure if TT has the problem to a serious degree. I have two TT accounts simply because I didn't want to start purging my tracking list that maxed out of my original one.

    Just one, now, though I may get another as I move into "junk" non-coins like 10mm plated platinum "coins" . I've also had several NARU'ed for scamming (I'm reformed) and am grateful as daylights to be typing this here from my home instead of a jail cell.

    If you're going to sell rare coins MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE COIN!!1 Please, learn from my mistakes. I thought I was smarter than eBay, I wasn't.

    I have three: one for personal use, one for business, and one to parody an infamous scammer.

    I have one. Some may have as many as three. Many use different user names for buying and selling. Also, some people who spend time in the eBay Discussions and has a tendency to get into flame wars with others use "posting" IDs, so when they get into an argument they don't worry about the other person sabotaging their auctions or winning just to neg them.

    I only have one, by the way.
