Abusive Threats fm Future Seller
Summary: losilve-12 mentioned being threatened by a seller in Paris after inquiring about items without making any purchase commitments. The seller accused losilve-12 of not following through on a large purchase and threatened to block them on eBay.

There’s a seller in Paris who is threatening me for messaging him since mid-6/26 that I liked several items+ contacted him as I thought it was a difft store off eBay+ identified items I like+ want+ today he accused me for not buying 20,000 euros already when I never committed to buy yet+ said he has gotten other Parisian sellers too+ EBay to block me for not buying items I advised would be bought in the future…

Your post is very confusing. Did you buy items from this seller and then not pay for them? If you bought 20,000 euros worth of items from him and then didn't pay for them, I can see how he would be upset. You said you didn't commit to buying the items but maybe you did buy them and didn't realize it.
You said he is threatening you? How, exactly, is he doing this? Just by blocking you from buying and telling other sellers to block you? If all he is doing is blocking you, that is not "threatening" you; that is just doing something he has a right to do. A seller can block a buyer at any time, for any reason.

·1 week agoSounds like a failure to communicate triggered this response.
Care is needed when communicating with many people whose first language is not English.
Consider one more message with an apology for any misundertstanding your original message may have created.
I would have just blocked you without communicating with you. but I was not promised 20,000 Euros in orders. If I had been promised, I would also have blocked you.

·1 week agoSounds like you are being blocked for nonpayment. The seller is not blamed for that, the buyer is.

·1 week agoIf you feel threatened by a seller then report them and then add them to your block list. End all communication with this person.

·1 week agoDon't exactly understand, but unless you actually are in a transaction with this seller, you can safely ignore his messages. But also don't understand the part about his blocking you for not buying items you advised would be bought in the future. On eBay, you either buy or you don't buy.
