  Hello,

  I have problem with subdomain name. I made blog address ebayshophr.wordpress.com on my account. Then I decided to transfer blog to my other user name. I deleted blog address name ebayshophr.wordpress.com and that I tried to rename my second existing blog kupoprodaja.wordpress.com to ebayshophr. And now I get message saying Sorry, that site already exists! but it does not exist anymore since I have deleted it. If you go and check address you will see it does not exist. Could you please check that and make it available in any way. The original ebayshophr was made on my account by username Oseloth if you need it for reference.

  Thank you

  Adam
  Blog url: http://kupoprodaja.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Oh no! It’s too bad you ignored the 3 warnings and then clicked the verification link required to delete the blog. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

  You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

  If you are into blogging over the long term then you can buy your own domain like I did for my blogs. You can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
