I know its eBay doesn't allow you to use a domain name as your eBay user name however I've been seeing a lot of people trying different ways to get around the user agreement.

I would love to try this to but am afraid of getting in trouble with eBay.

I've seen things like **www.xyz.com** or xyzdotcom Does this trick really work? Or will eBay force users to change their name?

You won't get in trouble.

For example, you can use:

anybody*com
wwwanybodycom
anybody-com
anybody_com
www-anybody-com

They do block users who try
to use:

www.anybody.com
anybody.com

One of my five user names
has a *com added to it.
