How Can You Check Availability of an eBay Store Name?

It is essential to choose a unique name when you are opening an eBay store and wish to establish yourself as a seller. Other than devising a unique name which reflects your services and products as an eBay seller, you have to ensure that no seller has claimed the name already. By making use of the advanced search tool of eBay, you can test how unique your store name is. The following steps will allow you to do this with ease.

Visit eBay.com

Go to the official site of eBay. Visit the eBay website and find the Search button given on the home page. Click on the “Advanced” link that can be found next to its Search field.


Check the availability of domain name

Click on the option “Find Stores” that can be found in the left-hand margin. Next, choose the option “Store Name Only” to be found on the screen that comes next. In case you want to create a matching site which can promote your services or items, check and find out whether your domain name matches the store name that is there. You can find various domain name registrars that can offer free searches. You can use these and find out whether a specific name is available there for you. There are various companies which offer 3d cart eBay services, and you can seek assistance from them.


Search on eBay

Enter the eBay store name of your choice into the search box. You should not worry about typing capital words, as eBay tends to ignore the same. Click on the “Search” option and you will find any existing store names matching your search in a list form, other than any of the store names which consist of all the searched words. In case no matches are found, you will find “O Stores Found” in the eBay results displayed.


Do the search again

You have to repeat your search with the name that you prefer, without apostrophes, spaces, and various other punctuation symbols. These characters are taken out by eBay while the real store ID is designated in its own database.
