[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 3108073, member: 20480"]There's an eBayer out there who all too often contacts the seller after I've won an auction (almost always the same type of coin), and offers to pay more if the seller will cancel our transaction. Most times, the offender is successful in doing so. I have tolerated this behavior as a nuisance, and figured he couldn't do this often enough to really affect me. Well, I got fed up with this today, after he blatantly did exactly the same (seller confirmed identity of the offender for me, as has been done in the past by other sellers). I'm quite sure he also does this to other buyers, and not just to me. I fired a warning shot across his bow a while back, letting him know that I had proof in writing that it was him, and that did not deter him. He has never answered back. While he has had to change eBay usernames a couple of times, eBay seems to tolerate his presence - unwilling to dig deeply enough to justify banning him permanently. Even though I have what I consider factual evidence, I will not publish his identity, so how do I more effectively handle this situation? All suggestions are welcome, as long as they do not cross the line.[/QUOTE]
