Go to "Search" at the top of an ebay page. Then "by Bidder" and put their name in.

This person had aol account and when I emailed her it bounced and said that wasn't a valid username. How'd she even get an account on ebay??
I guess I'm assuming it's a she...could be a he with a she name to throw people off.  What a jer*.

Just go "search" then choose "by bidder" then put in the "bidder's" name and it will give you everything she/he is bidding on. I have already emailed 2 sellers about this idiot...gonna keep goin! any help is appreciated!

Holy Crap! I don't know if I can keep up with this idiot! I am finding more & more auctions they are bidding on. Hope someone else is sending emails to the sellers too!
If I were the sellers I would want to know so I could cancel the bids before auctions end!
It's like a full time job keeping up with this b*tch. Hope eBay steps in soon to help. I have let them know what's going on. Hope other sellers are doing the same!

Just got an email from a seller that was able to delete their bid before her auction ended. I feel MUCH satisfaction for helping another seller before she got screwed too! Gives me some momentum for continuing my cruisade to help other sellers~!

WHEW! Bid job. Still going strong. I think I am still going because i have an excellent reputation that I resent so much being ruined by someone of such LOW ESTEEM to just bid on auctions so that they can leave disparaging remarks....I can only hope that ebay helps us sellers out since it is sooooo obvious she is playing a game!

Wo! I'm thinking my last post didn't make much sense, but have gotten more emails from other sellers that cancelled this person's bids and am so pleased that she hasn't burned them that it keeps me going!

WHEW! sore fingers from writing emails but I am soooo encouraged by the responses of other sellers that I also hope we can nail this "buyer" haha .... for their childish tactics! hope to hear from ebay and I hope others are emailing them also about this person! Thanks all for your help. Well, back to emailing. I can't believe all the auctions she is bidding on...

hmmm if i'd went ahead and gave her a negative when I first wanted to other sellers might have been able to cancel before the auctions closed. oh well, if I get another weird "buyer" I'll not be so hesitant....

Well, you know, we all live & learn. Who would figure that someone would play such a stupid game as this! I am still writing sellers and getting wonderful responses to sellers who have been able to cancel her bids and are so grateful for the heads up!
Atleast that helps me to not feel so bad for being screwed by these childish tactics. It's sad that some people need to stoop to this level for gratification.

People with LOW self esteem will do anything to draw attention to themselves--even if it's negative attention. The bidder wouldn't keep doing it if there wasn't some sort of payoff. Gotta love Dr. Phil and his "Life Strategies."

Hey redskinfan: Don't feel bad. You haven't given this person the upperhand. We are gonna win this battle! I am almost at the end of the list of stuff she's bid on and the sellers involved so far are perfectly willling to do their part in getting her banned and not letting her screw them. You are part & parcel of helping the cause! Keep on keeping on!

Yeah I know. It's just some b*s* game I guess. Some people need a hobby I guess. I am STILL emailing other sellers & getting great responses as they are so grateful to be able to cancel the bids before their auctions end. I'm glad that I can atleast help them before it happens to them!

Maybe if you check in a day or two she might be -4. Isn't that grounds for getting NARU'd?? I know eBay doesn't always do it automatically, so one of you could notify them and get her the heck outta there!!
Without eBay, I might have a real life...

Wanna know the scary part? When she does become NARU she'll probably just register under a new name and pick up where she left off. ebaY needs to come up with a way to prevent NARU's bidders from re-registering.

I have since sent it an email (cc: safeharbor) banning it from bidding on my auctions. Just for the sake of documentation. Got some more responses from other sellers who were glad for the heads up. I suppose that could be construed as interference, but I really felt well within my rights to advise others of what was going on. And it really didn't preclude them from selling. I would hope that someone else would do the same for me.

Your e-mails to the other sellers reduced the total bids left to about 5.
I would hope that someone gave me a "heads up" if I encountered a bidder like this one on any of my auctions.
