On Ebay he goes by the name of: billy1977 He says he lives in Kitchener His email is: billy_the_great@hotmail.com I am about to do a fairly large transaction with him and am a bit concerned. So I thought I would post on this handy-dandy good/bad guy forum. Thanks for any info

Get a phone number and cross-reference it with the white pages. (Tell him you don't want his cell nunmber!)
Call him at a random time.. see what kind of answer you get.
Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!

... if you really want to be sure, enlist one of the Kitchener guys to go over and check out the product/item for you. It's not foolproof, but at least he will have to have the product, and an address.

Originally posted by Len Randall: I wouldnt do business with anyone who uses HOTMAIL accounts.... EXACTLY! In order to get on the net you have to have a provider and every provider provides an e-mail address for it's clients. Why is this guy using a hotmail address? I don't buy anything on the net unless I actually talk to the guy on the phone first.

Acutally E-Bay will only allow you to use anonymous e-mail (hotamail, yahoo mail etc.) after you verified your real e-mail (ISP e-mail) with e-bay.

I'd be real cautious. That's a great idea, go get Dan and Mike Jackson go check things out
