Sometimes using your real name for a handle is not so good. My name is Mark and there are a lot of Marks since it is a common name so you need to figure which Mark it is. If I used that on EBay there would be tons of Marks but by using the Handle Willy-N that shows up as not common at all and I still use my real name at the end of the post so most know who I am right off the bat. By not using another handle you get known by that name. I use lnghrn on ebay and that is short for LongHorn since it has allready been used. I still sign my auctions at the end with Mark H. because my daughter also sells and signs with her name. My town and state is also on the auction right up front and Okanogan, Washington is not a very big town about 1,500 people. So that is the reason I use the Handle Willy-N I can spot my posts right away on any site I post on. Mark H.
