Default Feedback Manipulation

Hello all
I had previously used in 2009 and 2010 some ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts to artificially increase my feedback score. I have a customer that is stalking me and has threatened to expose it to ebay. He was able to see within my feedback profile the feedback I left between my five accounts and then the feedback I left with the other accounts and was able to draw a link between all 5. So my question is can ebay investigate items bought and sold that far back?

Any advice?

^ They can investigate it, not sure how far back, likely as far back as they want but I would say that the last 12 months are the most important.

If he reports you and it is obvious you have done this. You will likely be punished and in terms of stealth, have all accounts linked.

This guy is stalking me because he expected additional services along with the product, even the item description stated it was for product only. You get some nuts out there even after they where given a refund.
The problem is how many times must I violate feedback manipulation policy before I get suspended idenfinately?
I think I can take a 30 day suspension, but just dont want to get suspended for life

This stalker is out to cause you trouble - when someone sees you artificially pumping your feedback 1) he is a nut with too much time on his hands and 2) you have been a bit sloppy in letting someone see that so evidently. Regardless, communicate with him, block him, and set up a new system.

All these things coming together can cause problems and YES eb ay can go into the past and decide to destroy you.

Ok so it all went down today, all those ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts I had created where shut down and stripped of their feedback, and the feedback they had left was also removed. My feedback score went down 30 points. Luckily I have moved and purchased a new computer since then. Should I expect a notice soon or does time heal all wounds?

When you say shut down...30 day suspension? I once had an account that did eb ook sales (trash) - it actually got shut down because of feedback manipulation eb ay said - too many "A+++" type of feedback - feedback went down by 200 - was sick.

After 30 days, I contacted eb ay via e-mail and I was restored. Account has been solid Ps since.

I am sorry to hear that.

Paypal will jerk you around alot if you use that account to sell

You may want to keep it open as you need to buy something back from him.

After some time he will begin to sell on the account he used to mess with you, they always do it seems

The guy who was stalking you is obviously a Seller, possibly your competitor

Well actually I dont even remember the password and emails attached to those old accounts. I didnt even remember the usernames until my stalker pointed them out. I checked them at the community iserid search page and feedback had gone from 6 or 7 to zero. But my real user account has not been affected as yet, im hoping it wont.

That's freaky, he could really hurt someone. I had a stalker once which is why I ended up here but he backed off, I led him into buying an inappropriate picture (emailed to him) of myself knowing he'd fall for it. Got him involved in communications regarding it, quite easy. Basically told him this guy was stalking me and I was considering going to the Police and a few other things that he didn't want to happen. He calmed down, started to like me I think. This was when we were really broke, my husbands idea. Now I'd just eat the account, not worth it. Felt bad ever since

Your real user account linked to your other accounts in some way? ip? cookies? etc... - that's the main question.

I used to do this to get my feedback up, I just had to do some feedback tutorial and was back on eBay, though they never really forget do they! Was either this or shill bidding Stopped doing them since stealth as it can get confusing if you do this on multiple accounts aye apet!

Keep us updated on that real account.
