FB name change issue

Post by Ihaveit »

Hi. I am doing a name change and am wondering how this will affect my FB posts and the items that I have for sale on the FB buy/sell sites? Will the sale items just stay and be on my new identity or will they disappear and be lost?
FB let me do a second identity, but it doesn’t have the same features on but/sell. It only posts items as “discussion” and doesn’t have a title heading, asking price and description section.
What can I do?
Thanks

Used to be if you changed your Name everything vanishes..
people clicking will just get " user not found"
They didn't notify FRIENDS before, maybe that's changed
Personally I'd keep the current User name until you sell the items you have listed

Why don't you just continue to use the name you were using on FB?

I have a FB account just for marketplace. Hint; not under my real name.
