You should have had this person's name and address sent to you after they had won your auction. I suggest that you print out all of the threatening emails and run them by an agent of the FBI. Here in Texas, stalking is taken quite seriously and a complaint to the governor activates the Texas Rangers. You should not wait until something physical happens. Ebay probably could care less. They were great 6 years ago, but have gone down hill with excessive growth and some of the unscrupulous leeches they attract. Good luck to you.

Dustin, Contact the cyber-crimes division of the FBI and file a complaint. This is a criminal offense and felony charges can be filed. Also, you can get the full name and address and all contact information of any ebay member you have had dealings with. Get this information and file a complaint of stalking and harassment with your local police dept, as well as the police dept where this person resides. Also contact this person's ISP and file the same complaint. Change your email address and do not make it available in your user profile at ebay. This means all of his contacts will have to come to you through the contact member feature of the ebay website. Then there will be a log at ebay. Hope this helps.

What is this e-bay member's user name? Posting it here might help other sellers in knowing what type of a person/stalker they're dealing with. It also might cause a seller to decline a bid from this person. At any rate, your best defense is to get this person's/stalker's user name or names out here on the net along with your the story of your dealings with that nut job. Rita
