That should have sent red flags up for you immediately. The only way someone wouldn't have the time to create an ebay account that takes all of 5 seconds, is if they're scamming or already in arrears with ebay/paypal.

Wishing this asshole some negative karma for you.

What happened::
a facebook trader contacted me to offer a btc fee if i'd sell something for him on ebay. I'm an idiot so i got started without checking the db, now i have 560 USD missing from my account. the whole story is in the logs, this guy cost me my ebay account, a fair chunk a cash i think paypal will decide i need to pay and what little respect i had for english people in the first place.
