Reclaiming Pinterest Username

Hello All,

This is the first time I am posting at TheRodinHoods even though I have been following every post for a while. Thanks to Alok for giving us this great platform.

I am the co-founder of TeeSort.com and we sell tees online. Today I logged on to Pinterest to create a user account for us (I agree we were quite late 🙁 ) To my horror I found that someone had already squatted on the name and had even posted that I should call the guy to claim the username. Ofcourse he was expecting me to buy it.

I did not call the guy but filed a complaint with pinterest. To my great surprise they responded in less than 5 hours and made my username available to me.

Thought it will be a good learning to share.

Cheers,

Atul AGARWAL
