Please report the git to the EBay authorities, they'll make sure the account gets deleted.

I will do, but there's something in the Ebay rules that you have to give them 7 days after the auction has ended before you report them.
But this guy has stated that he is not paying, so I thought I'd warn others and strike while the iron is hot.

That 7 day timeout thingy isn't applicable when someone obviously isn't going to pay and/or has given false name/address/phone number information. I had this recently: some hotmail-zero-rating-git won a laptop I put up but never replied to emails. So I requested contact information which came up with a phone number. I rang it and some poor old granny answered; 'Huh? Interweb? Wuzzat?'.

Anyhow, I reported this to EBay and they deleted the guy's account within two days. Like that's gonna help; prolly has opened 10 new other EBay accounts with other Hotmail addresses. :madashell:
