    Yeah considering the luck I see a couple of you have had on EBay I'll be posting my sales here. I prefer the deal with honest people

    Nasty piece of work. Problem is IIRC that ebay does not allow sellers to give negative feedback to buyers.
    I googled his ebay name and apparently he shafted more ebayers. Would it be possible to get together and build a case against him?
    I blocked him too. It may be me but it wasn't easy to find the ebay page for blocking buyers. Best is to google "ebay block bidder" works faster than finding your way within ebay.

    Yeah, they make it pretty difficult to call out a bad buyer. I have sent in reports to both eBay and Paypal. Not holding my breath, but at least I can say I tried. I just hope I can prevent someone else from being the next victim.

    Since you have the address, you could call the local police. What he is doing is theft. Having the address makes it easier for them to find.

    I used to watch a lot of vaping videos, and YouTuber's would get equipment sent to them for reviews. One guy had someone pretending to be him and getting stuff for free. Once the reviewer found out he called the local police department and had it handled. If anything, you could use this thread of other thefts he did to back you.

    Contact your local Postmaster, they have a longer reach and take theft much more seriously. Fraud by mail is a federal crime which the Postmaster has full authority to pursue and prosecute. They are not often thought about, and seldom seen coming until it's to late.

    The perp has posted a picture of the two stolen razors from this thread as well as a third in the SRP Facebook group. I have called him out and demanded he either return my razor or the money he owes me. I expect neither, but his game has now been exposed to even more people.
