Hello,

About 8 months ago i paid £45 for some brake calipers and pads from an ebay seller, i paid through paypal
The calipers arrived but the pistons were totally siezed, i emailed the seller about 4 times over a month about the problem, asking for a refund but i got nothing.
I sent a form to paypal about what happened and they got me my £45 back and the calipers were sent back to the seller.

The next day i got an abusive email from the seller who had obviously been billed £45 (funny how he responds now Wink )

nothing else came of it untill today.

i got a lovely threatening email from the seller

"alright mate i know where you live so you are going to
get a knock on your door one day lets hope you answer"

he obviously has my address from ebay.
and for all i know he could even be on this forum?


So any ideas on what to do?
Thanks, Richard

Tell him that you'll use that e-mail as evidence in court if ANYTHING happens to you, or your property.

He's blowing hot air - he won't do anything.

What a hard man, i would ignore it. He is trying to scare you, most people that write like that on the internet are sad cunts still living with their parents.

How far does he live from you? Check on multimap.

Tell him you have always wanted to know exactly how you unseize the piston on a brake caliper & you welcome the day he can demonstrate this in person.

He's just trying to scare you into giving him his money back. Email him back saying he's welcome to take you to court, but any harrassment you will take to criminal court. Sorted.

I'm amazed PayPal ruled with you to be honest! What did you do?

The police thing sounds good. I never thought they would take it that seriously but if they do, great.

Try to wind him up a bit more (without writing anything that could get yourself into trouble) and hope you get a few more threatening emails first to strengthen your complaint.

I'd keep a copy, and a printed copy of the e-mail and it's headers (or if it was an eBay "my messages" the message).

Then i'd report the person to their internet service provider for abuse. And eBay (altough that's often a waste of time), and if you feel really threatened the police too.

Altough, in my experience, dealing with awkward sods on eBay, the ones that lack communication skills, and customer service, often rant, and send incoherent insults. Rolling Eyes I doubt very much that they will do anything at all. Smile

Personally, I never bother replying tit for tat, to insults or threats online, it's ultimately pointless.
