Guys, Someone keeps fugging up my eBay sh1t an' it's curse word me off. It's the same person, time after time - they buy stuff then send me about 10 abusive emails and threaten to neg me (obv. they can't as they haven't been registered long enough - and get booted before they can) Is there any way I can find out who it is via IP's etc. I'd like to know so I can knock seven shades of curse word out of the cowardly curse word. And also cos it's costing me a fugging fortune in listing fees. Ebay won't to jack squit as tey make money off these fools

Easy way - small claims court, ebay have to provide information requested by the courts and/or the police.

Close, distinct lack of cigar Under Electronic Communication laws brought in post-Enron, any company that does business in the US (Ebay!) has to retain information pertaining to business carried out by that company or by individuals using that companies' services. There are also similar laws in the EU and the UK. So - they have a log of IP addresses et cetera used by the individual. The ISP also has relevant logs. So...Unless they're going to the effort of spending money at a net cafe every time they buy something off mr. Baker or email him....They can be traced *n

Hmm, fair enough! i must say though, i'll let you fill out the small claims court forms for that one, and chase up ebay to get the IP address of what turns out to be an internet cafe/school library/Nigerian mud hut/bedroom of some bored 8-yr old, in order to get the £3 listing fee back! Obv i'll give you 25% like.

There is an option to block bidders with a feedback score of -1 or less, have you got that switched on?
Ebay ought to give the option of blocking zero-raters, even if that was just in the car section, it would save loads of grief. Toss pots.

Incidentally the guy who knackered my auction, had the unusual address of 'fu#k you mr plums', i looked it up on multimap but couln't find it like. He then sent me a few taunting emails: 'heres a taste of your own medicine', 'are you ready to get negged' and so on, then Ebay gave him the boot!! Ha ha ha, all harmless auction-warfare/fun, anyway.

I'm assuming you mean the zr501 character. seems like a knob. if we ever find out who he is don't bother with the police, just hospitalize the motherfuck3r.

Obv. it's someone who can link me & the french dweller together.... So could it be someone off here (or the other forums etc. we both frequent)? If it is then that is a very sorry state of affairs indeed. All I'll say is if it is someone connected with us, and if you do have a personal beef.... don't be such a cowardly tw@t about it. Give us some grief on here etc. We can take it. Really. Yes, we both have reputations for being somewhat 'gobby', but that's half the fun. I'd rather have someone slagg me off in a public forum than spazz up my auctions and cost me a load of cash. The one last weekend rinsed me for £25, which is not really on.

And how retarded is this latest missive?
That's nice.
SERIOUSLY: If it actually is someone off here I suggest you stop this RIGHT NOW. My eBay account is also used by my partner and I have two very young children. How the f*ck do you think this kind of curse word will make us feel?
Sick.

I wonder if it's that well known ebay seller who has a thread dedicated to him on autoshite - weren't the pair of you winding him up a while ago?

Christ, it seems a bit too well versed for that muppet. Maybe I'll give him a call to find out. Like a house call. in person.

My eBay account is also used by my partner and I have two very young children. How the f*ck do you think this kind of curse word will make us feel? Sick. Two points: 1 - go to the police tomorrow; death threats are a very serious matter. Explain the situation calmly; that someone is making death threats to you and your family and that this individual is also deliberately costing you money. 2 - if he thinks a 'wireless laptop' is untraceable then he's a bigger idiot than I thought. I won't go into details on here (for obvious reasons) but I'm sure he doesn't realise (as many don't...) that everything he does online is traceable. Grab me on emessen if you want, dude. *n

Definately a police, or plan B issue... Doesnt sound that hard to track down. Seious or not making that threat IS.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts
