    sounds like there may be more to it, but if he's stalking/harrassing you online or offline there are things you can do about it, some kind of injunction.
    emailing you on ebay is the same as harrassing you on the street, just because it's online it doesn't mean it doesn't count...
    if it's serious enough you may want to talk to the police

    Thanks, it's not that bad at the moment but it is in my mind if he starts anything else. He doesn't know I'm married so harder to find me as my email address is in my married name & my security settings on FB are high. He's also probably not sure where I'm livign now as I've moved three times in the last year, but sadly we are moving back to my home town so that would be his starting point. He's just a waste of space who likes to 'prove' that no-ones as good as him, sad really.

    I'm full of new words, it was only a smidgen of a thought, not properly thought through. A bit like my life really.

    You could reply to one of his messages and tell him that you are married and your husband is uncomfortable with him contacting you in this manner so could he please stop.

    He may genuinely be unaware that there is anything wrong with his communications, if he is reasonable he will stop, if not then you can consider blocking him or opening a new account.

    TBH I'd rather he not know I'm with anyone as that may get him started knowing he could try & cause trouble between my husband & I. It's probably making him mad that I haven't replied as 'no-one ignores HIM'!

    Could tell him that you are happy in a civil partnership with your gorgeous girlfriend, :D could that be enough to put him off or will he see that as a challange?
  • If it's just your buying activities he's commenting on then just open another account. Nothing to stop you using your present account for selling, in fact it's better to have your buying and selling separate :)

    Otherwise block him and change your settings so blocked bidders can't contact you.

    Good luck, don't really see what he hopes to gain from this though! xx

    Nope nor me! Thiking of using my husband's account for a bit and only using mine for 'select' purchases that would bore him stupid :rotfl:

    I would definitely set up a new account, you'll have new feedback soon enough. I would also look at the women's aid website as I think they have advice about dealing with people like him, he doesn't sound nice at all.

    too many comps..not enough time!
