The original seller you bought it from was probably Mrs Sandra. She knew he'd react this way when you started selling it. She's just waiting for the old geezer to have a stroke so she can collect his life insurance. Talk about a unique way to make a profit selling jewelry on Ebay, this has to be one of the best!!

It's simple if he call's again and maintains his statement that he filed a police report ask him for case or file number of the complaint and the exact police department that it is filed with. If he won't, hang up and block his phone number. That would be the last time I would talk to him. I does sound as if it may be a "family" dispute and I would not want to get into the middle of it, I hate soap operas. I do like what the local police officer told you, that being to tell them to "Tell him to go pound sand" and if you speak with Mr. Sandra again I would tell him what the police told you, that should make him feel good

You should offer to sell it back to him for 99 cents each and watch him explode when he asks you to combine shipping!

Fluff, maybe you can get his auctions kicked just for listening to his nonsence.
Be sure to keep a copy of original auction with images & user ID information who sold it to you on hand just in case.
I sometimes save the entire page to my PC for future reference if any questions come up. Good luck.
Oh don't know if he can have rights to anything he has unless he gets an official document? Not sure about that or what it would be but - some people copyright stuff so unless he has it copyrighted or what ever who knows. Ebay does have a list of things that people have some sort of protection on that may be what he is referring to.

Yeah, no problems from him, but he can cause problems for you with ebay if he claims "copyright" of the jewelry. Anyway, it is certainly an interesting story, funny that you saw the Alaskan Jewelry in Alaska. I spent some times at those internet cafes in the ports too when I took a cruise there last year.

Even if he copyrighted the jewelry, Fluffy bought it and it should be hers to do with what she pleases. If that were the case, you wouldn't be able to sell anything "authentic" on eBay. He may be able to stop her from using his name, but that's even iffy. It's not a VeRO matter; the stuff is authentic and I doubt he's a VeRO member. He's talking out his backside and I'd put him on ignore. Sounds like the wife got revenge on the husband and I say, "Good for her".

Yeah...interesting...his auctions state
"ex-wife still sells under the old ID of ******, but don't be misslead by claims that she helped in the design of Mr. *****'s jewelry"
"Item comes with a certificate of authenticity."
He lives in a small town...The policeman you talked to might very well know exactly who you were talking about. Pound sand...funny.

I know...it's all over the news. Being prepared. We don't have any ash in Anchorage yet as the wind is blowing north and we are about 180 miles to the northeast. If the wind shifts it could really play havoc on air travel for the next few weeks or months. The last eruption was 20 years ago in 1986. We were going to head someplace warm for a week or two at the end of this month too. Hope we can still do that.

If you do have an ashfall locally, scoop up a bunch of it and list a few plastic baggies full of it. It's not every one who has access to volcanic ash and I suspect there are jewelers and furniture refinishers who would love to get their hands on some.

Fluffy, to heck with this miscreant! If it were a real theft he would have filed a valid police report.
You bought the jewelry fair and square. Your right to sell it would be no different than if you had bought it from him directly.
He is just po'd that you are bringing his market value down.
If you really want to have some fun , post the whole dang lot of it for .99 BIN and I'll buy it from you. Then in two weeks when it gets wiped of of the closed auctions search, I'll list it for .99 BIN and you can buy it back from me. We could have fun with this all year, lol.
. When your ship comes in.... make sure you are willing to unload it. .

There was no theft report because the theft had not been discovered, until now. However incohherent the communication to fluffy was, it served to notify her that there is a claim that she has stolen property in her possession.
I would not be so quick to disposs of the property quickly, or melt it down, until the matter is resolved.
Perhaps the purported victim will file a report now.

You can bet there will be a report filed. Any time there is a divorce with animosity, the theft reports start flying right and left. It's a ritual that dates back to the stone ages. He and she have a contest to see who can file the most believable theft report against the other and land their butt in jail. Rational thinking never enters the equation, just the desire to cause the other party as much grief as possible. The outcome is always the same, at least here in California. The cop shows up, listens to the normal rants and raves about how the other person ripped them off, then, after scribbling a brief incident report, says the magic words "California is a community property state. Talk to your lawyers and let them work it out" Then he hops in his patrol car and proceeds to the nearest donut shop. No theft report is filed because no theft took place.

OK Fluff fess up you are the ex wife-
Kidding!
Is it legal on ebay to put another user's id in their auctions? would that not be leaving themselves open (Ebay) to liable through this guys use of another's user ID???? That could get his items kicked off??
I don't know this for sure as I have never had cause to look it up but might be way to cause him a little grief for you canceling your auctions and trouble.???? Not that I am into revenge but sounds like he has caused you lots of it....

fluff - Tell him you are sorry for all the troubles that he has. Offer to sell him the remainder of the items for $200 as you were unaware that the items were stolen, and there was no source for you to check as to a theft. That way you both win.

I can't agree Koz. I would never willingly deal in stolen merchandise, but I've seen this story played before.
IF Mr. S was the victim of a vandalized storage unit, he would have, or at least, should have filed a police report.
Fluff did the right thing by checking it out with local law enforcement.
Fluff has not only money, but TIME now invested in this venture.
IF I were in Fluff's shoes, I would not be willing to make a deal with Mr.S if he is still acting agressively about the whole thing. Should he decide to calm down and try to be reasonable, I might be willing to make him an offer based upon the current value of the investment in requards to my cost and labor. If he can not honor the value of someone's time, then he does not deserve any more of it.
Fluff, I checked out their websites. It is interesting that about the only thing she is selling now is over-priced junk jewelry and it looks like her sterling inventory is starting to run low. I also noticed that she has taken down her eBay store. That must have been one nasty divorce <g>

If there is no police report, I don't think you have much to worry about. You've offered to cooperate with the authorities.
As for copyright, you aren't reproducing the items, so there is no violation of copyright law.
