Default ebay help

can anyone just put in a false address ??????????

a lad i know was sending me messages through ebay
but i didnt know untill someone else told me that he was
taking the piss and asking what my reserve was, i told
him £1300, the last bid before the end of auction was about
£600 but then someone just put a bid in for £1500

thay have been a member since 8/03/05 and have no
feedback is this the same lad do you think under a false
address, the lad i know is from newtown powys but the
buyers address is in newport near telford but i think its
a false phone number with it aswell.

what can be done if thay dont respond to my email's ??

report it to eBay customer service dept and block bidders with no feedback. If the guys contact info is dodgy eBay will suspend his account and if he has been bidding and then not going through with deals they will ban him. If anyone asks the reserve price by email tell them to bujgger off!

Happened to my mate, He got the cheque and banked it and sure enough it cleared, he went to draw the £££ out of his account to pay the shipping Co, 4 days after the cheque had cleared and luckily the bank told him the cheque was stolen, despite it showing as cleared !!!! Police were well aware of the scam.!
