When to change serial number on savings bonds?

Is the 5 day hold on savings bonds transferable?
The five-day hold protects Treasury against loss by ensuring the ACH debit has been successfully completed before the funds can be moved. The gift recipient will then receive an e-mail announcing the transfer of the bond. I noticed savings bonds are being sold through auction sites such as eBay™, but I thought ownership was non-transferable.
When does a bond need to be reissued?
The bond needs to be reissued if the error is significant enough to prevent the bond owner from cashing it. To get a bond reissued, Fill out and sign FS Form 4000 ( download or order) as indicated on the form and mail it with the bonds to the the address provided on the form.
How does the sale of a savings bond affect the owner?
The sale doesn’t affect the ownership of the savings bond, since by regulation, a savings bond is a registered security and ownership is non-transferable. The United States Treasury still has a contractual relationship with the owner or co-owners named on the bond, not the person who bought the bond at auction.
