I'm having a very unpleasant experience with an aggressive buyer on eBay. I blocked her because from the outset she sent me messages in capitals asking me to confirm that my bag was genuine. I don't know what people expect you to say in response to messages like that - "no it's a fake" somehow doesn't seem to cut it??? Anyway usually I just reply politely but her tone was very aggressive and the number of messages together with the use of capital letters just gave me a really bad vibe. So I blocked her and politely informed her that I prefer to sell to buyers confident about the authenticity of what they're buying. I was very polite. Cue a stream of further emails, I replied once and then was thinking what to do when the bag sold. Immediate payment, by a man. Of course I think uh oh boyfriend, but he's in a different town and he's paid in full so I send it. I hear nothing for 2 weeks, until yesterday I get a return request (my first ever) from the guy saying his girlfriend says its fake. Very upset, but I accept the return because I just want my bag back.
Anyway (and sorry for the long ramble, but it helps to get it off my chest) he has an unusual name, so today I google him, its easy to find him and his girlfriend who it turns out also has an unusual name. You guessed it, same christian name as the aggressive would-be buyer and the initials of her surnames are incorporated her ebay username. So clearly she got him to buy it for her, and the return is an act of spite. Is there anything I can do? Can I report them to eBay?
