How do I change my name if I signed up with cell phone verification, Google Sign in or Apple Sign In?
VarageSale accounts are verified three different ways. The first (and original way) is by creating an account connected to your existing Facebook account. This is how all VarageSale accounts were created prior to the middle of 2017. Please use this article to learn how to change your name on a Facebook verified account.
If you created your VarageSale account after mid-2017 by entering a cell phone number & verification code, or after late 2020 using Apple Sign In, here are the steps to change your name, if you are currently pending or denied in one community. If you are active in all communities, please reach out to our helpdesk for assistance with a name change:
