The "jp" at the end of names

What do the "jp" at the end of YJ seller's names signify?

Are they telling buyers that they're based in Japan so have less worries purchasing from them? ?^_^?

I don't think so. My personal and my deputy ids both end with JP. Both accounts are billed to US addys, but both accounts have .jp emails. Does that make sense? Cause i think I just confused myself

I've always thought it was a variant on a pre-existing name used by someone else. For example, if a character was popular, there could be a Ichigo and an Ichigo_JP, along with Ichigo_01, Ichigo2009, etc.

With so many users of YJ, there are going to be multiple versions of the same word, especially if that word is a food, anime or cartoon character.

Well that makes sense I guess.

There are so many YJ names with "JP" at the end of them. I just found it rather odd.
