Forced eBay ID Change?

I just had mine forcibly changed also. I know they've been "suggesing" we change them for a while, but I would have liked some warning and an opportunity to select the ID I want without the "shades" icon appearing before they did it for me. - Bob -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Zane H.

I've had an account for over 6 years and I predate the rules against using an email address. Looks like the b******* have decided to forcefully change all of us using email addresses for our ID's so as to better control the flow of information to us. Zane -- -- | Zane H.
