I once bought a set of Bose quiet comfort noise cancelling headphones on EBay. The seller was in the USA and shipping was to Australia. The guy didn’t ship and stopped answering messages. But I had emails from him with IP address. A reverse lookup gave me his company. I called the company and the automated switch asked me to enter name of person I wanted to speak with. I entered his name and it validated he worked there. I have him an email giving him one more chance to do the right thing. He didn’t respond so I sent an email to the CEO, legal counsel and HR with subject “Company X employeeName conducting fraudulent eBay auctions from company X network” with accompanying evidence.
He emailed me a few hours later with an express tracking number.
I kind of felt bad for him but doing he did from his office is extra stupid.
- rootusrootus 7y ago> I kind of felt bad for him While I understand the sentiment, we sure are softies when we sympathize with the guy who got in trouble for trying to scam us. He earned that consequence 100%.

- henvic 7y agoDon't feel bad. Someone from college bought my QuietComfort 15 pretty cheap when I got the 35. I found it odd that he'd buy it as it's pricey there (Brazil), and tried to convince him not to (as he wasn't rich or even working regularly). He told me not to worry and asked to pay in installments. I made the mistake of accepting his offer, and he practically vanished after paying about 50 USD for it (I sold it for about 130 USD). I am someone who he could ask a referral. Instead, now he has a recommendation against him.
