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!

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).

Point taken as you seem to be not the only one, always willing to listen.
So, a name ? Your right btw re cooker hoods.
edit to add re colors was just a quicki to see if people thought ebay, colors would could be done better.

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.

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?

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.......
Fozzie
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

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.
