    if he knows your ebay username he can check your ebay feedback and see what you've bought, i think it's also possible to do a search for items a user's bid on.

    Good point, I know people sometimes set up a specific secret account. Usually for genuine reasons, such as buying presents for family but I guess the same principle would apply here.

    ... He's more likely watching your eBay account and feedback, anyone can do this if they know your eBay username.

    If you want to stop him doing this (assuming you're using internet explorer) you need to open internet explorer and then:


    2) Then go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Content and uncheck the tickboxes next to "Web Addresses" and "Forms".

    Dont forget to click on the clear forms & passwords too. This will loose all your passwords but would also prevent someone also seeing them you would rather not!!

    Call his bluff and ask him to hit the F12 key in your presence.

    Enjoy life, it's the only one you've got!!

    Oh dear..........why not tell him if he's managed to disorganise all your !!!!!! sites he's going to be in big trouble. That should give him something to worry about and you something to laugh about.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    It will soon be April the first.

    Plenty of time to think of a way of getting him back.

    Set up two messenger services and talk dirty to yourself then leave one of them open so he gets to see.

    Talk about him to the other bloke, yes make your other name is male. tell him your boyfriend is rubbish in bed or anything else you can think of that would get him upset like he has done to you.

    Start the logs now so it has an history by April the first, talk about how your boy friend does not trust you like the other guy does.

    Arange to meet your other half.

    I think you get the idea.

    Then try and record his actions and put it up on the web for all to see.

    Oh I am nasty. :)

    Good grief! He sounds far too controlling, and he's only your boyfriend - dump him now, he'll only get worse!
  • Good point...if he knows your ebay username he can track your purchases. Just set up a new account for the ones you don't want him to see :-)
