ebay has a policy for accidental bids that are way out of line. One time I accidentally bid 2,500 on a piece of silver bullion when market price was 250. Clearly that was a mistake so the seller just relisted it and we were fine.

also, you can block individual bidders on ebay. block him.

finally, a coworker bought an ATV from ebay and sent a $5000 wire transfer to Costa Rica. She was surprised when the police said they couldn't help her.

No. But she complains she doesn't make enough now that she has a new harley, crownline boat, and huge storage building with bathroom and kitchen.

Perfect example of people having fun now who will live forever on social security and I will probably die in 5 years with a sweet unused retirement account.

Call the cops. Seriously. This guy is an idiot and deserves whatever he gets.

Aww...c'mon, we can do better than that! Let's get a meetup organized, and surround this internet tough guy with a couple dozen (OK, if it was Erik or someone, I'd say a couple hundred, but it's chaser) fanatics and ask if he still wants to get rough. Someone has to be close with Tron, get him there.

We'll get Fran to lead the pack holding a spear, that will scare him for sure

Sure, but you know a man of Chris' high public position can't be associatin' with nothin' so untoward as an internet tough guy ambush.
Get the best of both worlds, Zach McCabe is in a high public position and is willing to fight..or let someone suck his fat one.

Easy answer. Tell him it will cost ten bucks to ship it and when you receive the money you will send it back. You might also tell him your packing and transport to shipping site are being done gratis because you are a nice guy.
