jimbournesmith Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 When I first started I put in my email address as user name which is jimbournesmith etc etc.Jim is my name Bourne is short for Bournemouth where I lived ectBut now if i post here for example folks ask if I am the father of Jason Bourne.I have a gig, I am reviving which has some good reviews and points, been away a while.But I definitely do not want this user nameI searched the posts appears I will have to delete my whole account and lose any good reviews I had.Edit: I would like my name to match my YouTube and Google Plus nameWhy the big issue about changing your user name. How is that good for business If Fiver users have to delete their profile and all their good points and recommendations. Surely Fiverr stills knows who we are whatever our handleJIm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewriterfiver Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Jason Bourne isn’t real. (Well, I am sure there are Jason Bournes out there, but the movie one isn’t real, who is, I assume, the one you’re talking about?)Do you really want to delete your account and start over because people have been using the same tired joke about your name over and over again?Or maybe I misunderstood and this isn’t the only reason?

offlinehelpers Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi Jim,If you want to change your username, yes, you will need to close your account and start a new one - CS will help you with it if you want to do this.It’s the only way I’m afraid.Nice to see another Scot around by the way!

homeestates Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think that the fact you have a hook (however lame you see the joke) helps people to buy from you. It makes you memorable and this is never a bad thing in business. Keep the name!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t have a massive client base anyway, new beginnings 🙂If you start afresh, you’ll get the benefits of being a new user where your gigs (always have more than one!) will get bumped up for the first wee while.Make sure you come back and let us know what your new ID is.Cheers for now 😁 (can’t find a haggis emoji!)

eoinfinnegan Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 You should also consider just making a quick response message of the following:Jason Bourne is dead, you hear me?He drowned two weeks ago.You’re gonna go tell 'em that Jason Bourne is dead, you understand?Now how can I help you today?

eoinfinnegan Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 wow thanks Friend I will look into thatNo problem.Also, while I have no real evidence to back this up, I suspect that you may find it easier to get going with a new account than to try revive an old one. There are many buyers, particularly for expensive things like V/O who specifically seek out new sellers who they expect to be cheaper. That, and the fact that Fiverr will boost your new account and gigs in the search results for a couple of weeks would make me think it a better idea.Do check in with customer service before doing so though, otherwise they may see it as having two accounts which is not allowed.

eoinfinnegan Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 thanks, but if I do delete my account on my own, why they think I had two accounts if I start a new one?..because of my personal details perhapsYes, you will probably sign up with the same details, Paypal etc.I find its always best to go to CS first as going after a problem takes a lot longer to fix.Contrary to Fiverr’s advertising campaign advocating the opposite approach, they operate a policy that very much leans towards ask permission first, not forgiveness after.

gina_riley2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 thanks, but if I do delete my account on my own, why they think I had two accounts if I start a new one?..because of my personal details perhapsFirst, I like your voice gig - sorta sound a little like Sean Connery - yeah, you probably don’t want to be compared to another actor. It sounds good - I’ll have to ❤️ when you open your new account.I had to cancel my other account which was very similar to this username of ga_riley2. What I did was contact CS first.My email was tied to the old account and I could not reuse it. Support was able to clear that up and I was able to set this one up using same email, etc.I’m not a seller so I’m sure there are other things you have to do that I didn’t.
