Considering changing user name to match booth name...

I’ve been thinking for a while about asking Bonz to change my user name (Salmagundi) to the same name as my booth (Rummage Rampage). I’ve read that this can be done, but I’m concerned about unintended consequences. For instance, I’m assuming that such a change would make any and all previously posted links on my Facebook page become dead-ends. Is that a safe assumption? Is there any way to make it so that there’s a kind of “overlap” for a short period of time? Probably not, but I just figured I would ask.

Has anyone here ever done this (changed your user name)? And if so, were there any bumps in that proverbial road that you hadn’t anticipated? I’d be interested to know before I do anything that makes a mess. ;)

Hi..been awhile..

Your listings will be fine since the booth ID name was removed from listing URLs a few years ago and they would not change…however your booth link will change from

[URL removed] to [URL removed] and anywhere you have that booth link will have to be updated

You would definitely have to change your previously posted links to the new one. The change is immediate. I would definitely look at the mount of traffic you get from Fb versus shopping feeds before you ake your decision.
