Yes I understand its a police matter, which I am following up on. My post here was more in regards to stopping the stem of flow of the Negatives I will/may receive, and also with regards to the account being de-activated

As for being illegal to sell something you don`t own, I doubt thats the case. Quite alot of account invoices from wholesalers have "remains the property of (insert name) until goods are paid for", but shops are obviously able to sell those goods before paying their monthly account. There is also "drop shipping" which is allowed by eBay, and essentially the person is selling something they don`t physically have in their possession, and then off course, there is the eBay "Trade Assistant" which is set up to sell on other peoples behalf. Which I have just signed up to become.

But yes, hard lesson learnt, one part of me says I was stupid, the other part says I put trust in that person in the same way 1000`s of people put trust in eBay sellers everyday by paying for goods before they receive them
