Is This Abuse Bad Enough To Report?
38 Answers
Back in May I sold a top on Ebay. After a week I sent the buyer a polite reminder to pay and heard nothing. I then filed an unpaid item report which was dealt with and the matter is now closed. This particular "buyer" has 10 feedbacks which all say the same thing - no payment, no communication, time waster etc.
Out of the blue, three months after the event I have started receiving nasty messages from this person. They are all in the same vein and the latest one (this morning) said "Eff off you sad lying bitch. I hope you die a very slow death."
I have reported this person to Ebay but they will not suspend/ban her.
Is this type of abuse serious enough to report to the police?
(I have done some checking up and the address linked to her Ebay account is a bogus one).

I would report it - even if the police won't follow it up they ought to give you some sort of 'crime report number'.
You can then wave this at ebay and demand they block/suspend/ban the user.

PS:
For those who say "it's not that bad" - it is perhaps worth remembering that the user is (probably) abusing others in a similar/worse way. Not everyone shares our robust outlook on life and other recipients may be badly affected by such messages.

When you report it to the Police,and you most certainly should, make sure you receive a crime reference number, otherwise they will just ignore it and carry on with something more important. Like spying on the victims of crime, for instance.
Keep trying with ebay. If they still don't do anything, try this :::

Put the buyer on the site, then everybody else will know. I have never had any problems with ebay, but it would seem that it is best advice to look at the buyer feedbacks before posting. Not your fault of course...ebay need to wake up to this sort of thing.

What a good idea Dave about having a police crime number etc....that would surely force eBay to take action.
One reason why I have never become a seller - I buy plenty - LOL but have heard sufficient horror stories about the hassle that sellers can get.
As your address is obviously known to that abusive buyer - I would not hesitate to inform the police ASAP.....that I believe is exactly the sort of thing that they have provided the 101 tel number for.
