right i know there are ways to track down the ip address of an Internet user.
 
my problem.
I'm quite sure that a guy that left me bad feedback on eBay  has used a second eBay account to then interfere with my car i had for sale.
 
by clicking the buy it now then not bothering to contact me.
(new eBay user 0 feedback)
 
he then left bad feedback.
 
but the bad feedback he left was so much like the bad feedback he has left for lots of others on eBay with his own account.
 
he always uses "Avoid" on the end of what he had written.
 
the new account that was used to leave me bad feedback has done the exact same thing.
a strange thing for a supposed "NEW" eBay user.
 
anyway i have the e-mail address that he used to setup the "NEW" eBay account
Is there anyway i can fine out the origin of this e-mail address and compair it to the one from the
original eBay user.???
 
 
 
 
 
WHY T3's.... because they are just so adictive, and having one just aint enough

Before you do that, I would be inclined to try and sort it out with Ebay themselves first.

[QUOTE=T3ADICT]

If he has won/bought something off you

click on advanced search (next to search) 
in the list on the left click on find contact information
enter his user ID in top box and the item number in the lower box
then click search, Ebay will then send you his details by email

He will receive your details too

Hope this helps

Ian

ive contacted ebay.
i infact called them, not called before. way better than sending them an e-mail. Much easier.
 
i already have his contact info its automatic when he wins the autction..
he has even used the same name to setup a hotmail account as he used on his ebay account.

You can get the negative feedback removed by Ebay especially as he is a non-paying bidder. Ensure that the usernames are blocked from participating in your auctions. Do it all via email then you have a record of what has transpired. (Unless you record your phone calls and are given the operatives name).

Ebay should be able to check if the addresses are related to the same person.

Not without having an email direct from him I wouldn't have thought.

What do you hope to achieve with the ip address anyway?

Google his original Ebay user name. Most people tend to use the same user name for quite a few websites.
I find that usually helps me.

Ebay are aware of the extortion racket going on whereby people are being threatened with negative feedback unless they send free goods or pay money etc. This is particularly worrying if you are a business seller (as we are) and have a large 100% feedback rating - it only takes one malicious shit to spoil it.

This has got worse since they changed the rules so you cant give a buyer negative FB, all the pressure is on the seller.

The sooner you start communication with Ebay when you feel this might be happening the better. Remember its you as the seller that pays the fees to list items - you are where their revenue comes from and without decent sellers Ebay wouldn't have a business

i have a direct e-mail address for both "different" user accounts.
 
if i can show ebay that both of the accounts have the same ip address then it forces their hand
at the moment they are hiding behind "user privacy" controls.

I seeeeee!

If there are any auctions for either account create a couple of gmail addresses and ask a question to the two email addresses that you have for him. Then if you get any response to them you will be able to get the email headers which will give you the ip addresses (unless he is using gmail) - you never know you may get lucky.

Have you googled his email addresses?

You can get the ip address from hotmail emails if you could sucker him into replying.

I wouldn't bother contacting ebay, as a seller you get nothing from them. They always take the buyers side in any argument. Thats my experience after getting bumped on several occasions.

I can't think how you can deal with the scrot, sorry.

theres lots of things you could  do, but what will you achieve?

I'd just report it to ebay as malicious, they can and do remove it... if it becomes a problem (if he repeats it) then take it further.

I certainly wouldnt waste any of my life on this guy. Negative feedback means very little. As long as your feedback is mostly good, most people will see through the negatives, especially if you respond to them with level headed comments like "no contact, leaves bad feedback for entertainment" or something...

IP address wont tell you much anyway, possible the town he lives in, but not even that in many cases

He is trying to prove to Ebay that the two supposedly different people are one and the same.

I once spent quite a lot of time gathering evidence that showed a guy who was bidding againsy himself to raise the prices on things he was selling. Shill bidder they call it. I sent all the info to ebay and they did nothing about it. The guy was still doing it long after. I just gave up.

i informed ebay that i was looking into the ebay user myself.
 
they have changed their tune now.. have removed the feedback from the "new" ebay account and are now saying they will consider removing the first lot..
 
it may seem like too much effort to some but for the money ebay charge (it seems to be getting more expencive) i want them to work for once...
 
in this perticular situation the ebay user twice cost me money, wasted my time and thought he could hide behind ebay.. oh and he has left bad feedback for 3 more people in the last week..
twice he has not even had the item..
