Hi fellow Auctionwatchers. I had a past deadbeat that threatened to leave more revenge negative feedback in the future,
and it has now become evident that one of
my current deadbeats IS him under a different
ebay bidder name. After the first incident, I made sure to block his bids and file for ebay seller credit fees. But under his new ebay id, this guy bid again AND deadbeat again. There are too many coincidences: their unusual last name is the same, both use the same exact ISP, both deadbeat, and both come from the same non-USA country. I'm concerned that this past deadbeat created a 2nd (or 50th for all I know) ebay alias, with the absolute intention of deadbeatting me again and giving another set of undeserved negatives. I'm watching for the revenge negs right now.
I tried to use the ebay Safeharbor web page system that they now insist on, but it only skips to other spots on the same page. None of the links work, and ebay probably knows it.
Does anyone know of another way to contact Safeharbor? I've already sent a regular e-mail to Safeharbor, although they are trying to discourage it now. They probably won't try to help me, but it's pretty bad when they make it so hard to get help from the very people that pay them. It's like they're trying to shield these multi-ID deadbeats that do nothing but create leeriness of ebay and online auctions.
