So I promised myself to refrain from buying another anything really as I have enough and I was like, okay, I know exactly what I want out of my clothes, nothing else can appear that'll made me spend insane amount of money on it except that it did.

So I got these on the way.

Pretty much the same (but pre the neg review) Abuse and threats concerning family - Police matter now

Is the Police actually taking it seriously and doing something?
That seller spent a couple weeks calling me daily to threaten me, leaving me voice message telling me he would come down to London to "sort me out", that i wasn't safe anywhere, that he was going to get me, he was a real weirdo.
I filed a complaint with the London Police just so that if he ever did try something stupid i had a proof it was self defence.
The police never took it seriously and there was never any result, i also sent recordings of the voice messages and written ones to eBay and they didn't do anything either, according to them it didn't breach any eBay rules... It was pretty intense.

How long ago was that? I'm pretty sure it violates eBay's current rules. I had to file a complaint against a seller recently, and if I remember correctly one of the options to choose from was something about "threatening language" or similar. I can't remember exactly since that wasn't the issue I was dealing with... They may very well have updated their policies as a result of your experience. Not pleasant for you I'm sure! No place for that sort of behavior! Hope he gets banned from eBay.

(I was commenting on that beautiful Vanson, wasn't aware of the ebay thread). I will tell you I once sold a BOAT on ebay and since it was trailered for quite a while prior to the sale, the plug was in the boat's glovebox....that was a bad experience. He didn't notice for about a mile out.

That was around three years ago.
He ended up getting banned a year later but opened a new account and carried on doing the same thing under a new name.

Was mining through old listings on eBay looking for finds where the seller might take a low offer, and I came across this beauty! Been listed for a long time so somebody might be able to get this for a nice deal. Already reasonably priced. Typo in the title kept it off everyone's search for Grais leather jackets! Not one of their awesome oldies, but this one will keep you warm! Grais in pristine condition. $190 OBO + shipping. If only I wasn't going to be moving a lot closer to the equator, I'd be all over this!

Pretty much the same with me Carlos (Hertfordshire), and I expect the exact same results. However, best to get it logged.

He also sells under
