Black Hole
May contain traces of nut
...and all my web searching indicates eBay are a bunch of ****** incapable of / unwilling to resolve anything.
I have several email accounts (doesn't everyone?), one if my secondaries is xxx.yyy@gmail.com (not literally!). Over the last few days I have received eBay messages on that account, the first welcoming somebody called Kurt Jonsson to eBay, and then two regarding purchases (delivery address Sweden).
The trick appears to be that this person has used xxxyyy@gmail.com (note: without the dot) and Gmail does not seem to recognise the dot.
I can't decide whether this is an innocent mistake or some kind of deliberate deception, or figure out a way to deal with it (since eBay are to all intents and purposes uncontactable). I do not have an eBay account registered to that email address, or PayPal, so I don't see how this could affect me directly, but it is possible I will get irate emails from a seller who has not received payment.
