                    I keep getting messages from ebay saying:
I click on the link to update my account details, and it takes me to a page showing my correct details, and with the instructions to:
So, I fill it in and click save, and I get the message:
You haven't made any changes. Please review and fix the incorrect info on this page.
I have filled in the missing name numerous times, and they keep coming back to the same silly error message.
Any ideas, please?
I'll add that we had a clearout, and we sold about £1000 worth of gear on ebay in the last year, but I can manage perfectly well without them. However, the last time I had a problem with ebay they sent me over 250 threatening emails! I'd prefer them not to embark on another harassment campaign, if possible.

            No idea what they are doing these days. I keep getting messages to update my personal details.
I have not moved and I have not changed my name so what is there to update???Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 - 
            In the end, I stuck my middle name in the first name field, and that seems to have helped. Just extremely poor programming, I think.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
