Nice way to not answer his question.

IP: "An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address."

Guys! Guys! DO NOT USE WESTERN UNION! It offers NO Buyer Protection AT ALL. At least with a money order,, mail fraud charges could be filed if something goes wrong. I repeat...NO WESTERN UNION!

Postal Money Orders and PayPal are the way to go. On the subject of making a fake account to burn the seller, I hope you are completely sure that it's the same guy. I've read what's been posted (about using western union, and sending out of the country), but what happens if one time, it's a legitimate auction. In your zeal to prevent a scam and avenge others that have been screwed, you could in fact be screwing a legitimate seller. As for the warnings to the other eBay'ers, I believe that if it's taken too far, you can be banned from eBay.

you can get kicked off ebay for doing that

Wow, something that actauly came close to contrubuting to the conversation from this guy. Even so... Cockers are not magical.

Anyways... Good idea on sending those emails! Hopefully ebay can block his IP address and have the police arrest him.

It wasn't a really strict warning. What I sent were just look outs and letting them know its possible this might be a scam. I wasn't telling them to cancel bids or anything because I dont know for a fact. Most of them responded and said it sounded fishy

I think that's all you can safely do. I know I'd be grateful if someone reminded me to be careful.

IP -- in English for non-techies

IP is like your computers address on the internet. Every computer is like a house, having its own address where the net knows where to find it (like when your searching sites).... by Banning an IP that address cant access the site anymore. If you have Cable/DSL this is normally a permanant ban or until the mods feel it can be lifted.

Not if your IP is dynamic. Then it changes everytime you relog or reset your modem box. The worst case scenario is by passing the ban through a proxie server...


I am such a computer geek...


Don't ban me or I will come back and haunt you...

Ha! webopedia is gimped.

IP = Internet Protocol

IP Address = Internet Protocol Address.

Many people use "IP" as slang for "IP Address".

You often see TCP/IP because TCP is the most common protocol for things on the Internet. TCP is actually a protocol on top of IP.

I can take you out with the precursors numbesr of your IP's. There are only four of them in your case. And your the only one with those. Plus I can report you to your ISP and get your account cancelled. And I will! I wouldn't be threatening anyone here if I was you...

If your Temp banned and come back one or all of the above will be done. And your mom and dad are not going to be happy when there service is canceled and they find out its because a web site has complained about your missues of the rescource. That is in your contract agreement...
