    I recently got a hankerin' to change my eBay user name from onefastducati916 to, well,.. UroTrash.

    Already taken.

    Never used one time.

    Dormant.

    So I e-mail the guy and offer to pay-pal $10 for it.

    No response.

    You think I'm the first dolt to ever offer to pay for an eBay handle?

    What's a fair price for a cool handle like...well... UroTrash!?!

    I actually have 2 eBay identities.

    My regular is: onefastducati916.

    and my alter ego is: "imareallycheapguy"

    for when I buy some nasty little thing that I'm ashamed to show up in my feedback for 3 months.

    My wife is: imareallycheapgal

    I was inspired by Fan's success the second time so I retried UroTrash, still taken. :(

    If it has been dormant for along time & you cannot contact the user, try contact EBAY directly. See if they would close out that account & allow you to transfer to it.

    Mine is TXBEBOP, take a look at some the stuff that I've bought & sold.

    Good luck

    I think the account has to be dormant for 18 months.
