[WARNING]
Your old username is released immediately and can be claimed by anyone. Do not announce the change until transfer is complete.
Steps
Buyer creates a Twitter account (if needed)
The buyer must have a Twitter account ready to receive the handle. Create one with a temporary username first.
Seller changes username in Settings
Go to Settings → Your Account → Account information → Username. Change to a temporary username.
Buyer immediately claims the released username
As soon as the seller changes their username, the target handle is free. Buyer should have the rename page ready to go.
Buyer confirms handle is secured
Check that the handle now appears on the buyer's profile. Log out and back in to confirm.
Buyer confirms in ExchangeHandles escrow
Mark the transfer complete in the ExchangeHandles dashboard. This releases payment to the seller.
