The eBay user is 'brians20'. Complain again to eBay that he is spamming you, and hope that you reach the ONE eBay suppport person that has more than one brain cell and doesn't spend their day chanting the eBay support mantra... 'eBay is perfect... it's always the user's fault...'.

Be prepared to receive solutions like...
Clear your cookies
Delete your browser cache
'Firefox Mozilla' is dangerous (yes I DID receive that one) Rolling Eyes

And plenty of denials...

Seriously, ask in the eBay support forum, the people there are mostly eBay buyers and sellers and may be able to better advise you.

I got loads of similar spam from this same guy ('brians20') trying to sell some stupid stamps.

Trying to report it through SpamCop results in "refuses spamcop resports".

Trying to repeatedly send it to the ebay abuse address results in the same auto-ack, with instructions how to handle "ebay spoofs".

There is no online way (that I could find) to report ebay user abuse. They simply don't want to know about it.

Try reporting him to PayPal - OK, it's the same company these days but if he is registered with them they may suspend or terminate his account.

If you can't go and slap him round the side of the head in person, hit him somewhere else where it hurts... like his wallet.

Howdy,

This was submitted as a news item from NEW USER brians20:

Quote:

I dislike my name being bandied about on your message board re spam supposedly coming frrom me
I have never solicited ppl buying from me outside of ebay.
On the contrary, i have had various ppl conning me out of money by claiming to have never received their stamps and getting paYPAL TO RETURN THEIR MONEY TO THEM
tHEY R THE TRUE SCAMMERS AND THY KNOW WHO THEY ARE
my email address has been stolen to register on this site before but i have never been a member till now

This should be taken into account when processing this info.
