Am I allowed to name & shame a suspected scammer?

[eventscoordinator2007]

Just wondering if I am allowed to name & shame a seller that has scammed me?  It was an item that had a shipping ETA of 1 month.  I contacted after 1 month when the deadline passed.  They responded with "I'm sure it's on its way & delayed in customs but we shall resend please wait another month ".  Long short is I was naive & unaware of the 45 day policy... if I have an issue I have to lodge within 45 days however as this was my first bad experience I didn't know & unfortunately gave the seller the benefit of the doubt.  He continued to drag things out & assured me there was a delay in customs but would be with me soon.  By the time I did lodge a complaint I was too late (ebay not interested & paypal didn't even respond).  I am stubborn & feel robbed so continue to send emails to the seller with that same standard responses.  Almost 5 months since purchase date clearly  there is not hold up in customs & my item will never arrive.  I have also looked at his feedback & there is a consistency here & I am not alone.  He has many complaints of the same issue of "not  received goods".  I realise it was a lesson learnt & will probably never get my money back but at the least can I name & shame him so others people can be wary of this seller? Am I allowed to do this?

Hmmmm shame because I'm sure there are a lot of people like me that have been using ebay forever but don't tend to know about or need these forum until needing help *sigh* but looks likes there's enough good/friendly people too, it's a relief

Unless you asked for help on another profile or not on eBay Australia, you did not receive any childish comments that I can see. The only thread that you started is here- http://community.ebay.com.au/t5/PayPal-Payments/how-much-time-do-i-have-to-pay-for-item/qaq-p/690431

Which you seem to have been answered with uttermost respect

I experienced twice recently. One case similar to your. He requested me to give a positive feedback even I have not received his goods. He said he will refund money if I revise my feedback from Neutral to positive. I do not believe he has sent the goods despite he repeatedly advised me that he had re-sent.
The other case was the failure of product after the led lights were used for an hour. After I returned the faulty goods with evidence of postage from Australia Post he kept on saying that he still had not received and request me to wait patiently. He maintained good communication with me until 45days is over. Since then I did not hear a single word from him.
I tried to escalate to PayPal dispute centre with no luck. I believe they should be named to avoid others be conned.
