I think I have a stalker

I think I have picked up a stalker- but I cannot see what this person is trying to achieve, if it is anyone on here, then yes, very irritating but not funny.
Got a bidder a few weeks back, lets call them thewaltons1988, good feedback but never paid so I did a complete NPB on them. Got another bidder, thewaltons1993 who again had some feedback but didn't pay so had a complete NPB done against them.
Last night I closed a third NPB, this time on a new feedback user thewaltons1984. This morning all 3 IDs show with the message something like 'this user has requested ebay to remove their account and consequently all records, feedback left and personal data is no longer available'. So basically not Naru'd but closed by the buyer.
Obviously I cannot check all my bidders as I go along, but this is very odd as I cannto of course block part of a user name.

I have had a stalker for months. They don't seem to bid but every time I list something I have 1 watcher on each item. I thought it was an ebay glitch when it started but not I have got used to it.0

Odd behaviour.
Did you at any time get an email addy for the buyer, as it could be that was the same for all accounts, if so, add that to your BBL.
I think I would give Dublin a quick ring, just letting them know of any concerns.0 -

I've had no real issues recently on my business account (I did have an issue with an NPB on my private account and wonder if they were clever enough to find my business on the back of that?) and this 'buyer' is bidding on completely random things. I suspect they may have tried bidding on other items of mine as well as my logs show some suspicious looking blocked bids.
I can't see what they are achieving though except for tying up my items while I run an NPB on them.
It could be as simple as they objected to the first NOB as it was an aco!!!! with quite a lot of feedback and I may have stopped them bidding on other things- hence using the other accounts to waste my time. It wouldn't exlain why they didn't pay for the first thing though.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Why waste three accounts all with feedback doing this?
Very bizarre.0 -

Very bizarre.
The things people do to spite others is quite illogical.
It does seem very odd behaviour.0
