eBay Blocking bidder/seller communication!

Re: eBay Blocking bidder/seller communication!

Had personal dealing with him, a real piece of work. Outed him on the forum, called and threatened me. Sounded like a kid.

This post above was from a post on 9-26-2012!

I argue with unprofessional sellers myself from time to time, and I can't remember them all either so I understand if you bid a lot on eBay how you could forget them but if a guy calls and threatens you, I think you should remember who that seller was.

I had him confused with some else that I had dealing with from the Pittsburgh area who forged game helmets (Gino Cappaletti was discussed here) who in fact called and threatened me. He changed his ebay ID so many times I thought it might be the same guy. Flipsyr is from the Syracuse area according to his eBay profile.

Sorry, my memory ain't what it used to be! I totally forgot about that incident. My bad on this post.

Flipsyr?? Seriously? After the threads that have gone on here about him, he's doing you a favor by blocking you.

He probably blocked all of us.

I never thought of it that way Ken. I am betting that those who I had been blocked from and don't recall ever doing business ...could be from something I said or a stance I took on here. Scam artist know who to avoid and who to target. Guess it is a blessing that they have me blocked and can save both (all) of us a whole lot of trouble. Thanks.

Yeah there are two reasons you'd get that message -

1) The seller has personally blocked you from bidding
2) The seller has blocked the country you are located in

Re: eBay Blocking bidder/seller communication!

How many of you have blocked a buyer only to have them buy under a different name? I have only blocked one buyer (after a very unpleasant experience which made me wonder if the guy was insane), and 3 years later he bought something with a different user name. I was prepared for another episode, but no problems this time. He has hundreds of positive feedbacks under both names, so he is capable of handling transactions, but also several negative feedbacks, so I'm not the only one. Anyway, I blocked the other name after allowing so time to go by after the transaction, but for all I know he has others.

I had that happen last year, a guy I had blocked won something from me under another name. I told him I wouldn't do business with him and was cancelling the transaction, and he got all jerky/threatening with me again. So I called ebay, blocked him again, and they cancelled it for me.

so if a person who I block on my buyer list uses another username he/she is not automatically blocked based on his/her IP address. How did you prove it was the same person?

I recognized his name when he tried to paypal me. No, I can change my name daily and bid, no matter how many times you try to block me. Ebay agreed with me after I showed them some emails he had sent in the previous year (via ebay messages) that were nasty. When they saw the same name, they cancelled the transaction for me.
