He's the sleazy one. (And a piss poor loser, if you ask me!) You could give
him benefit of
the doubt this time, but if you get another-I would report him. Ebay has
been known to
throw people off. (I know a couple of people who have been thrown off.)
Keep everything
just like you would if you had threatening email.
I've done what you did-more than a few times. That's the game. I've never
had a nasty from anyone, though.
Also, keep in mind that though this person has "no previous history"-he
might be one of these jerks
who have been thrown out in the past-they'll go back on with a different
e-mail and different info.
Sorry this happened to you.
