Presumably they were the NPB on ebay but I thought they could only request your phone number, not address?

Ignore it.

To sum up what everyone else has said:

- You are under no legal obligation to co-operate
- The transaction on Ebay never went through
- If you must, say you sold to a friend at face value
- Say it was a scam listing
- Do nothing
- Give very little information
- If the solicitors continue to send mails, it becomes harassment and should be reported to the Law Society.

To be honest, I have to agree with this. Do not give any information to them, it only strengthens their case and puts you in a worse position. If you start giving them details, your willingly providing a case against yourself!

Keep quiet, keep all of the letters, and IF it goes to court, then you start to fight. Until then, file the letters away - they may be useful to prove harassment.

I hope you reported the user who bid on the tickets as a non paying bidder. Hopefully they will be banned from eBay, and if it is the solicitors, it will make their activities much harder if you and other people report them each time. If it wasn't the solicitor who bid, the user deserves to be thrown off eBay anyway.

The terms and conditions when someone joins eBay say you have to pay for items you win, so aren't the solicitors just as guilty of breaking an agreement as someone re-selling a Wimbledon ticket?

Do nothing. Re-read fluffnutters posts, they contain all the info you will need.

Or

If the non paying bidder was the solicitors and they never completed the purchase (breached contract) send them a bill for the difference between the winning bid and what you actually got for them

One thing you can be sure of is that the solicitors are making far more money out of this than the touts.

kkhimji2001

the winning bidders never paid for the item, the transaction was cancelled on ebay!!!!!!! people who have tickets and cannot go last minute use ebay as a market to avoid losing any money, surely it is better to try and get face value rather than waste the tickets. As long as you aren't a tout and deliberately buying and selling tickets for all kinds of events, then its fine just for a one off?

Did you hear any more from the solicitors or have they gone away ?

another stupid letter.
