It won't impact your account.'. Apparently if it is still there next week I should contact them again. So the usual 'we don't know what's…

Changing name by deed poll in 2025
I want to change my given name; my only reason for doing this is that I have never liked my first name and want to make a fresh start.

I’m trying to find a proper link but if this link works it is extremely good news for INR cases where sellers buy the labels through eBay. https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Announcements/Extended-Item-Not-Received-protections/ba-p/7935421 What’s changing?

I’ve done a quick Google (and I will obviously check the log…
