Default Paypal trouble. Being threatened! Should I take this seriously?

Hi everyone.

I've had major trouble with a recent transaction on ebay.

It was for a digital camera that I sold.

I dispatched it, but I never sent it with a tracking number. I should've done this I know, I'm stupid.

Anyway, the recipient never got his camera. Or so he says! I really don't know if he is lying or what.

After major arguments with him back and fourth, I didn't hear from him for a long time. I assumed he had gone away or that he had given up.

But then the other day he sent me some "threats". I don't know if he is just trying to scare me. Well it seems to have worked cos I am quite scared.

He seems to have got the police involved. He gave me a list of the things he had done:

Quote:
* crime reference No; C*/*****/08-3
* you are looking at a case of fraud/ deception
* Paypal have deided in my favor
* e-bay have been updated and in communication
* the police are in the process of attaining your details from paypal & e-bay, they have also advised that numerous advances have been made in this field and the electronical trail is very good
* from the encryption data they can also attain the address from where the mail has been sent, be that work or home.
* all my communication has been passed on to the police
* my credit card company are also looking to bring a case against you for fraud

Is this all true? Or is he just trying to scare me?

BTW, all my ebay and paypal account details are ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

Mind-reading skills are rusty today.
But going by what you have said I think you might be in what is called deep do-do.
What was the actual problem about refunding? Worry about lost profit and now
you have this grief?:( Yes, worry and try to rectify this, imo.

btw,Go to your User CP and add your location under your profile:laws in the UK
and USA are different.

i doubt anyone would go through that much trouble over a camera. and even if he did get the police involved, i doubt they would even waste their time coming to talk to you b/c they already know what your going to say.

Ok thanks, I'm in the UK. Just added it to my profile.

The camera cost £310. It was completely stupid of me to send it un-recorded I know. But I had so much on that particular week that I thought that it would be fine because I've never had anything lost in the post.

I am convinced he is lying, but then again I don't know. I don't even use that paypal account anymore. So i don't care about it going into minus.

If he has gone to the police, will they bother doing anything? My details are all ⊗⊗⊗⊗. But should I still be worried?

How serious/possible do you think this stuff is:

He's talking crap right? Even if this is possible, do ebay/paypal go to such lengths?
