I thought "ebay" to start with because of the colours but then I thought "maybe that's too obvious" then I thought "hmmm
I don't know what I'm thinking anymore"
Are these my feet?!
Such a bright yellow makes the logo quite hard to read. The yellow "a" in the ebay logo is more of a mustard colour

Jon,
The question is are you selling a quality product, because if you are that's not (IMHO) the logo for you.
I guess that the logo is intended for use on an Ebay shop selling your cooker hoods. Make it less juvenile and take it up-market.
Rich advice coming from a gutter trader like myself!

not really looking for what is been sold, just where.
ebay is the obvious answer and therefore where they should be trading (cause its like obvious and therefore makes sense and like, would be pointless
otherwise).
As you're selling hoodies i'd also expect to see you down the playground at 9pm with some cheep beer.
(well it must be thirsty work selling cooker hoods all day)
I'd be tempted to tone down the colours a little, the yellow isn't distinct enough, perhaps edge each one with black would help (but bear in
mind i've got a cracking headache so its not helping).

The name smacks of discount stall on a Canvey Island market, but the colours obviously suggest eBay .... but not in a nice way I'm afraid.
If you ignore the actually letters, it looks quite childish in a way, the colours are too bright to sit anywhere other than either ebay or perhaps a toy store of some type. Or, as has been said, some where like a market, where having an eye catching stand is half the battle.
Derbyshire Cooker Hoods ?
Just in case you like it the domain name derbyshirecookerhoods.co.uk seems to be available.
If you haven't got a website yet - you should as you shouldn't have all your eggs in the Ebay basket.

Bear in mind it twas Mrs's idea, I'm gonna tell on you all.........
Seriously she currently trades as "hoods-n-stuff" looking to change and she/we are seriously open to suggestions.
She sells mainly lower end cooker hood extractors, cheap n cheerful but loads of em.
Is it just a new e-bay name you're after, or more of a "proper" company name, IYSWIM?
Personally I quite like Hoods'n'stuff 
How about Hooderama or 'Boyz wiv da Hoodz' ?

new ebay name, she dont like hoods-n-stuff
Some along the lines of Kitchen Furniture perhaps? Or Cooker Furniture maybe? I'm guessing Cooker Hoods 'R Us sin;t on the cards?!
Well, without reading the replies to your question.......
with the colours used, my very first thought was that it is connected to/trading on Ebay...
purely because of the colour palette used.......

ETA......now I have read the replies..... 
Got to say, from a female perspective,... I think I have to agree with Robinbastd's comments......IMHO of course

The colours suggest ebay
logo
It could be a little jauntier though.
How about cukeruds Jon?

Toys R Us ??
It's a bad idea to have lots of different colours because the eye/brain has to work out what it says from the individual letters rather than take
it in instantly.
First thing I thought was Toys R Us! The version above looks better but I'd still go for something more sophisticated given your product.

Tasmania?
First thing i thought of myself was it was for kids stuff followed closely by ebay.
How about Hoods-on-bay?? Bit of a play on words of Hudson Bay
Robin's Hoods? seeing as you are close to sherwood forest

Im answering before looking at any other replies.
Ebay
Answer slightly skewed as i know you are both ebay traders.
MOTHERHOOD ?
..or with a little french authenticity
'Labia de Cuisine'
