I have received a number of returned products from various buyers all coming from the same seller. The seller is using my domestic address as shipping point and for returning items. The seller is using my personal information to scam buyers in believing the products are delivered from my domestic address. I also have reported the same buyer earlier this year when I received a 1099k for items I did not sell. Ebay confirmed the seller was fraudulently using my personal information & that the Ebay tax department would correct the issue. I have contacted the local law enforcement along with IRS, FTC and credit Bureaus. My next step will be to contact USPS for postal fraud.

What are you doing with the returned products? Go for the postal fraud option, get a solicitor and sue that seller for illegally using your details. I don't understand why another seller would be doing that or are the goods they sell stolen? Report them to ebay again and again. That's all you can do.

Based on comments on the sellers feedback page, they are foreign and using my domestic information to help sell the products and for tax purposes. I am waiting for the IRS to respond to my compliant but I am not counting
on much help.
the return items are piling
up in my basement. I would be happy to return them but I get no response fro EBay or the seller

Correct, that is why I reported to the IRS, law enforcement, FTC and Credit bureaus. The problem is EBay will not assist with removing my information, even after they acknowledged the issue.
