Go here...

Hit
"Report Another Problem"
-"Account Security"
-"Email Abuse" - then you can do "offensive/profane email"

AND do another one for the second email under "threat of bodily harm in email"

Nail that fucker!!
I hope that people like that were abused as kids because they damn sure deserve it

Yeah, I sent them an email already, couldn't find those categories, but I sent them everything I posted and told them that if there isn't anything they can do, I'll go to my local authorities... I probably still will anyway.

...it isn't likely that he'll do anything, but it still creeps me out that that weirdo has my address now... you know?

I'd have tried a "nice" email back, then if the response was the same, and he was still obviously either drug fucked, or just fucked, I would have done all the above mentioned.

Crazy that people can be like that though.

I had similar a while back when I sold a guitar. He kicked off because I didnt supply any allen keys with it although I had said it was for the guitar alone.
Apparently it was unusable as a result and it ruined the whole experience for him and he start threatening instead of going to a store to buy a key. The next week it was back on ebay and hopefully bought by someone who would kick out about it not having an allen key.

Four years ago I won an auction that ended in the wee hours of the morning. By the time I woke up, the seller (who only lived two time zones away) had already sent five emails. The 1st and 3rd were all chipper -- "Congratulations, dude, you won! I know you're going to love this item! " -- but the 2nd, 4th and 5th were increasingly antagonistic -- "You better not fucking stiff me, asshole! I'll report your deadbeat ass, see if I don't!" I paid the guy without delay (or responding to his emails) and the rest of the transaction was unremarkable, so I gave him a neutral feedback rating...


Buyer's Feedback: Great products & prices, but correspondence like a schizophrenic ex girlfriend

Seller's Reply: GREAT PRODUCTS & PRICES AND LEAVES A NEUTRAL??Emailed asking him for payment

Buyer's Follow-up: Rec'd several emails within hours of winning; some pleasant, most threatening.



He gave me a positive feedback rating, but tried to get a dig in...


Seller's Feedback: Very unprofessional and rude ebayer, Said "great products" but left a neutral???

Buyer's Reply: "Very unprofessional and rude" but left a positive? Someone sounds bitter.



Ever since, he has blocked me from bidding on his auctions. Boo-fucking-hoo.

Thats classic

I received a big huge apology email from him today...

so... blah... i searched his myspace page and basically replied to his threats with...

"Dude... First of all, I don't appreciate the threats... it was unnecessary and very childish for a 40+ year old man. So please, spare me."

I guess that spooked him knowing more about him than him me...
