Blocked buyer with 2nd ID bids & negs Update: gone

Update: neg is gone.

Here's seller's report of the successful discussion with ebay:
Called up ebay, confirms IDs link, looks like it can take days for investigation.

When ebay members get into beefs, they can misbehave.

One such misbehavior is malicious buying, buying with the intent to leave neg, usually in retaliation for some past insult.

When ebay detects that, they act forcefully and quickly. The malicious one is summarily booted off ebay, at least for a while.

However, the facts can be unclear, when the malicious account is a little or a lot different from the insulted account. Occasionally seller sees this coming, the winning buyer looks familiar, then pays, and seller faces a dilemma.

1. Seller ships. If buyer negs and ebay sees the evidence, ebay boots the malicious buyer, including all such accounts.

2. Seller refunds, and refuses to ship. If buyer negs in this case, claiming NPS, we've never seen the neg removed.

However, we now have a test case.

paid for items and never received! how does that make me malicious??

Seller chose not to ship.

The details of buyer's account, and exactly how related to some earlier account, is not public.

Will it stay or will it go?
