    I have just sent a report off to his ISP. Hopefully they will do something about it.

    One time, a guy in Austria won something from us and our ad clearly states 'USA only'. He was pissed when I told him I wouldn't send it, he called me some names and told me "you'll see what you get". Sure enough, next day, icons started popping up on my pc. Even a pop up ad on PT in guess what, an Austrian type language! Hubby blocked his email, no more problems. I reported the threatening emails to ebay. They said there was nothing they could do since they were emails, not through ebay. They also advised me to call my local law enforcement if I didn't feel safe. Of course the guy was in Austria so we weren't too worried, as long as he couldn't email us. From his feedback he had a lot of people pissed.
    I'd certainly block his email if you haven't already. Does he live anywhere close to you? I'd still report his threats to law enforcement.

    Bummer this is happening.
    You really should forward ALL e-mails to Both E-bay and Paypal, even after they have sided with you. If they know about him harassing you they WILL pull his accounts.

    My only concern is that I shipped him something, meaning he has my home address too. Although he lives somewhere in the midwest if I remember correctly so it isnt as if he can come to my door, and if he does then I have to wonder at his sanity (and I would call the police at that point!). I blocked his email adress and the claims have been sent so I guess I just have to wait. Hopefully I wont be hearing from him anymore.

    Most likey, he will do nothing. He may have planned to mess with your pc. He probably has a whole list of people he's mad at that he tried to rip off.

    There's a reason why ebay and paypall are multi million dollar companies..they cover themselves pretty well. If they've sided with you, you can bet he has no recourse because he's clearly in the wrong. You can smell a scammer a mile away. I think you have wisely protected yourself in all ways possible. You did a legitimate and above board business transaction and he's pulling one on you. Don't second guess yourself. He's clearly a fraud.

    He cannot make threats to you; that is illegal. I'm glad that you reported him to his ISP and definitely talk to your bank and the credit bureaus to alert them of any suspicious activity. If eBay has sided w/you, at least you have that going for you.
    Blessings,

    Glad you reported him!

    Well ebay sent me an email saying that they cant do much about him emailing me other than reccomend blocking his address, which I did. They are however investigating his claim on a dispute and more than likely will delete the dispute off of my ebay record, as he has no grounds after he left positive feedback that said the exact oposite of what he claimed in the dispute. I notified local law enforcement and I made a report to his ISP. I also changed my email password as well as my myspace password (I found him on there although he hasn't logged on for over a year) and have notified my bank to let me know of any suspicious activity. I also canceled my pay pal account and I will be re-activating it with my husbands email address, one that he has no knowledge of.
    Im sure that there is nothing else he can do, other than mailing me something which I will be calling the police (which they advised me to do) if he does.
    Hopefully THIS will deter him! I hope he hasn't harassed other people as much, although from some of the negative feedbacks on his ebay it sounds like he has been irritating people for a long time. Not that I think that he will stop anytime soon, but I hope that maybe me fighting back will at least get him to re-evaluate himself .
