How do I find a member when I don't have the full user name?

[pnc75]

I have the user name but not the 2 digits at the end of it eg appleaday45 (fictitious). I know the appleaday is correct but don't know the last 2 digits. Is there any way to find it? TIA

have you had a transaction with them previously? If so, check your feedback for ID

[enigmabear]

and remember that not *every* username has 2 digits at the end  (and some others have more than two)  

[pnc75]

No, I know it does have 2 digits. I used to know what it was but have forgotten. (Old age). I should have written it down, but thought I'd remember.

[pnc75]

No, unfortunately. i thoiught there might be some stange technology thing that I could put after the username that might bring it up. Something like (but not) *.*

[enigmabear]

Maybe see if you can 'remember by association' sort of thing

If it was like Get Smart (good thinking 99)

Or a classic tv show (Number 96)

Or two little ducks (22)

Good luck

Well, commonsense prevailed. I did write it down!

[enigmabear]

Yay

Next time if you don't remember an ID,just go to Advanced search and select By seller and tick the box.

Show close and exact user ID matches.

Put in the ID and any two digits that you think it might be,(as it will give you exact and close matches).

You then have to enter the verification code and voila,(you have a list to select from,one of which should be

the ID you are after),

If there are several IDs fairly similar it often doesn't show the right one as part of the selection.

pnc, it pays to follow them or watch one of their items. You can write it down but if they change their username you still won't be able to find them.
