If you have a problem with anyone on the Acaeum or everyone for that matter, why dont you at least have the balls to post on the site tell us who you are and what you think rather than hide behind your fake pussy ass name and take out your obvious inferiority complex on some poor person who has nothing to do with us. I have seen som low people in this world in my life, but man you may be one of the lowest. How pathetic can one person be, apparently more pathetic then I realized.

I'm surprised they don't have a "no bidders with less than X feedback" option, but you could add a little note in the auction description, I suppose. :? If they don't pay up, you could always offer it to someone else down the list, but this is really abhorrent behaviour.

I don't therefore have any grounds on which to cancel the bid. I would hope that this provides reassurance that this is a normal bid and there has been no attempt at interference in the auction.Louise

They used this site's PM system to contact you? That's about the only way I can think of that they could verify who they are.

I don't consider the request to use a new username is particularly unreasonable; collectors are entitled to keep their purchases hidden if they wish.However there are clearly some genuine concerns here, possibly due to histories involving these type of items. This clearly has the potential to affect the auction adversely. I will not remove the current bid which was made with my agreement, but I have asked the bidder not to make any further bids under that username.Louise
