How to Set Up Your Public Streamer Profile on Seller Widgets

Why Your Profile Matters as a Live Seller

When someone discovers your eBay Live stream, the first question they ask is: "Who is this seller?" A public streamer profile gives them an instant answer. It is your digital storefront, your credibility card and your brand identity all in one place.

Think about the sellers you enjoy watching. They have a recognisable style, a clear niche and a presence that extends beyond a single stream. A well-crafted profile helps you build that same kind of recognition with your audience.

With Seller Widgets, every seller gets a public profile page that viewers can visit at any time. It shows your stream history, upcoming broadcasts, stats and everything your audience needs to know about you. Here is how to set yours up.

Setting Up Your Profile

Once you have created a Seller Widgets account, head to your dashboard and click on Profile Settings. This is where you control everything that appears on your public profile page.

Start with the basics:

• Display Name — The name viewers will see. This could be your business name, your eBay seller name or a brand name you are building.
• Username — This becomes part of your profile URL (sellerwidgets.com/s/yourusername). Keep it short, memorable and consistent with your other social handles.
• Avatar — Upload a clear photo or logo. Profiles with images get significantly more engagement than those without.
• Accent Colour — Choose a colour that matches your brand. This colour appears throughout your profile and on your OBS widgets, giving everything a cohesive look.

Adding Your Bio and Social Links

Your bio is your elevator pitch. In a few sentences, tell viewers who you are, what you sell and why they should watch your streams. Keep it genuine and specific rather than generic. Something like "Full-time reseller specialising in Nike trainers and streetwear. Live auctions every Tuesday and Thursday evening" is far more compelling than "I sell stuff on eBay."

Below your bio, you can add links to your social media profiles. If you are active on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Twitter, linking these accounts lets viewers follow you across platforms. You can also add a direct link to your eBay store, making it easy for stream viewers to browse your fixed price listings.

Category Tags

Category tags help viewers quickly understand what you sell. Add up to ten tags that describe your niche, such as "Trainers", "Electronics", "Vintage Clothing" or "Mystery Boxes". These appear as visual pills on your profile and help potential viewers decide whether your content is relevant to them.

Choose tags that are specific enough to be useful but broad enough to cover your typical inventory. If you sell a variety of items, pick the categories that appear most frequently in your streams.

Sharing Your Profile

Your profile has a permanent URL that you can share anywhere. Post it in your eBay store description, include it in your social media bios and mention it during your streams. When viewers visit your profile between streams, they can see your stream calendar, check your career stats and learn more about you as a seller.

A strong profile turns casual viewers into returning fans. It gives people a reason to come back even when you are not live.

Make Your Profile Work for You

Setting up your public profile takes just a few minutes but pays dividends over time. It is your always-on presence for your eBay Live brand. Sign up for Seller Widgets and create a profile that makes a lasting impression.
