You can't, you have to be involved in a transaction with them, fairly obviously.

Is there really no other way by which they wont get my info as it is important that they dont.

Well, they could ask someone who has done business with you, under the pretense of checking a phone number/address, and they could supply them your contact details.

I happily gave the details of someone who conned me to someone else.

yeah they can get your name address phone number and number of downloads of porn you made last week.

it would be like going up to a bank andgiving them a name and them saying yes heres the account number, home address and pin.

the only people who can get your home address and phone number are.
people who you are involved in a transaction with.
police/trading standards etc (i believe they need a court order) if you are selling stolen/conterfeit goods.

you could always put in a fake registered address in your 'my ebay' and then use your real address in your 'postal address'. that way if there was a loop hole or some magic crack to get info then they would get the fake address, however this can get you suspended from ebay if found out.

All the items got at least a week left on them though, bit of a pain.

simple then, set up another ebay account and win one or 2 of his auctions, (for bigger items) that way you have to collect.

then inform police that you truly believe this guy is your man and they may send an officer oround to search his place and maybe find your reg plate under his mattress

are any of the bits marked? datatags panels etc, if you do buy a bit can your really prove its from your bike. Its one thing knowing it, its something different to convince the police or a court.

Ive already informed the police, he works for a garage but the bike is unlikely to be there so probablt not worth checking so i really need his home address.

i cant find any bits on ebay matching your bike.

scott666 · Trackday Trickster Joined: 22 Feb 2006 Karma :

The parts arent security marked but do have identifying features. I had to cut the one part in a distinctive way because my dog chewed it. and the other has a distinctive mark on it, i knew they were off my bike as soon as i opened up the auction page

Yep, that is the plan but the police have been pretty good up until now so ill let them do their job and if they dotn do anything im sure the guy would like to meet some angry bikers.
