Re: Forced into going stealth, should I worry about collections from ebay account onl
If it went actually as you say it did, then there is no way way you should pay the balance!
You should inform the buyer and ebay that you are starting a postal investigation and you should file a police report and submit it.
who is the person that signed for it, maybe a innocent person, as they probably do not personally know someone in your area - this person can be contacted officially... unless you were targeted for your area specifically and the are an accomplice.
I reckon ebay will not pursue you if you go down these official channels, you probably will not get your account back though. Keep everything about the tracking all comms with postal services etc, in case collections come knocking. Also so you can dispute and sue if anything happens to your credit.
You also then have the option alternatively to pay collections - but at least if you do not pay now, there is a chance they will not pursue and so it is worth waiting....
I agree they are trying to strong-arm you, and they either are chancing you will pay or a low-level employee/s are just not able or bothered to do any different.
It is you who should be annoyed, not them, you have had your account in real details taken away and all this trouble, when there is enough reasonable doubt that this is a scam....
