To Whom It May Concern,
I am wondering what can be done to have something removed from a website. I had done a transaction on the website
www.gothicauctions.com
The buyer said that she had not received the item. When I said that I will check with the USPS, she said she got her item and even left a nice feedback. I use a USPS Delivery Confirmation on my outgoing packages or use Postal Insurance. The owner of the website, then added my name and address and other information WITHOUT permission. He is using my home address and my mailing address. I asked him to remove it and he will not. He says he does NOT need my permission to place my personal information on his website. I told him the buyer received her item and he said he does not care. Here is the site of his reply.

I did make a copy of it, if needed in print.
You have to register to get to anything on his site, other than the homepage. He does not have an age verification to enter his site and the language is quite bad. I want my address removed from his site. I get the impression he thinks that he can make the internet laws. Isn't there a law against using personal information without permission? Considering I did NOT commit fraud. He doesn't seem to be afraid of anyone. There has got to be a way to get him to remove my name from his site. As far as harrassment that he says I am doing, I have contacted him several times to ask him to remove it. I had even told him I was going to the police and that did not help. Please tell me what I can do to get my name and address off of his website. The fraud that he claims I did. If I did commit fraud the user would not have said she received the item, if I didn't send it out. I do have the delivery confirmation number and if needed I can get the feedbacks that we left for each other. I would deeply appreciate any help you can offer. Below is some of his information, incase there is something someone can do to help me. I am very afraid with my name and address on his website. He has a bunch of name address in the community. It is under
admin blog and he posted my numbers on his general board and his privacy policy says
we respect and protect the privacy of our members.

We are not a business, company or a for-profit organization. I'm a one-man operation that provides a free, no-fee niche auction site out of my own pocket and with my own time. I protect my members by dealing with frauds and troublemakers, such as this person. This person emailed people the most horrific things, sent private messages that were just as bad and posted countless messages in our forums that are not only grammatically frightening but far too offensive to repeat here. This is a person who joined our site with no intention but to call a bunch of people filthy names, insult people, defraud them and then b***h and moan when she was banned for that behavior. After being banned, this person created at least a dozen accounts to circumvant being banned, bid on items without intention to pay, constantly harassed both myself and other members and generally disrupted the site for a full year after being banned. Talk about having much persistance and no life! The information this person complained about is actually a link to publically available information that anyone could have acquired using google and the internet based whitepages. Additionally, the information was linked to from within a PRIVATE forum for MEMBERS only. It was not made publically available. And the information in such cases as this is provided to prevent other members from suffering fraud by repeat offenders. In cases such as this one, posting snips of this information helps buyers and sellers avoid being ripped off by this person when they create additional accounts with various names, because while some information is changed, there is enough of a thread for other members to put the clues together and realize that there is potential trouble before being burned by a troublemaker. As this person has threatened to do in a number of emails, they should go ahead and contact my local police agency, her local police agency, the FBI, our local news media and whoever else she would like. I would also encourage her to contact a lawyer and seek legal counseling before throwing around ridiculous comments about "internet law".
