Revenge is sweet on abusive NPB !!!

Following one of my non-paying bidders strikes and a final warning to contact me within 24 hours here follows a sequence of e-mails and actions this evening:-

Buyer:- i have a different name so it doesn't matter!! and im not having your bloody XXXXXXX !!!!! k!

I AM NOT GOING TO BUY YOUR XXXXXXX! NOW GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!

I then check their feedback in the last week they have had 4 NPB strikes.
Why are they still registered? Thats another question? Anyway so I send this:



Me:- I see you are a person of no honour!!

Why bid if you don't want to pay!!!

Just remember what goes around comes around and when it does to you remember I am laughing at you!!

Buyer:- i dont fink so cos i dont sell on that name!!!!!

This got me thinking; I wonder what their selling ID is? Hmmm...I wonder if they shill bid? quick search and sure enough they do both addresses in Dorset good enough for me.

Me:- selling ID (sent to buyer)

Me:- Say goodbye to EBay!!!

Buyer:- nope!!!
I then followed this up by completing the shill bidder form on ebay and sending that in. With a copy to my buyer.

Buyer:- yer p**s in ur muvas mouth!!

Game set and match to me I hope!!!;)

    A quick update:-


    I have just discovered that they were bidding on items with their selling ID and then out bidding themselves with their buying ID not paying and sending the sellers abusive e-mails.

    What a nutter.

    But why?

    If they want a bit of jovial banter, they could come here.

    Hope you've sorted them for good.

    Go Honza.

    It's this sort of thing that puts me off ever selling on Ebay again :(

    I haven't sold anything in months yet probably have a few hundred quids worth of stuff sitting here waiting to dispose of, not to mention I could do with the money, but all the stuff I've been reading across this board the last few weeks has completely put me off :mad:

    It's like everywhere else on the internet though, when I first started out online around 10 years ago, using chatrooms and the newsgroups etc was fun and relatively problem free, but then the influx of home PC's brought the idiots online in their droves and it's gone steadily downhill ever since :(

    Thankfully this forum is a bit of a safe haven though, and despite such a large number of members it remains very friendly and good-humoured compared to many I've seen :)
