Think i will leave this post where it is.

Thanks to all who have contributed and to those with their 'holier-than-thou' attitude i hope you never get scammed and get told i 'told you so' by forum members when you come for advice to rectify the situation and no be preached to what you shouldn't have done!!!

That's that then! Another user who thinks everyone was ganging up on them because they didn't like hearing the facts! Oh well.

They are, but they allow for disclosure of data for the purposes of investigating a crime or for use in court proceedings.

They are not obliged to provide the information, of course. But they would be allowed to under the DPA in such circumstances.

As already stated - the request must come from the courts or police.

The OP wrote to Ebay direct - they will not respond to such requests, due to data protection laws.
