If you are looking for some time to kill...
I bid on this person's phone that they are selling because I am interested in getting a phone with bluetooth. I receive the following message.

You are close to my reserve price
The Auction ends. Before it ended I watched the auction, but I was not going to pay over $130 total, because I was watching another auction where I got free shipping and a free bluetooth headset, for a $130 Buy-It-Now. So the auction ends
back on July 7th with a high bid of $122, but still had not reached the reserve price. Slightly annoyed at this person's solicitation for a bid, I reply to her message:

I wouldn't say $30 is close. If I could give you negative feedback for even sending such a misleading email, I would.
On
July 26th she sends me this message:

hey dont think i dont know your bidding on my items with fake names i already reported you to ebay and sent out to them the (the hate email) you sent me awhile back. i took your email as a threat because you said (i wish i can leave you negative feedback for such a dumb comment) . if you continue to make fake high bids on my stuf then i will take action .
And the back and forth begins:

I'm not sure how you reported me. My email was not hate mail. It simply said that you should not have sent me an email telling me how close I am to your reserve price when the final bid was almost $50 more than my bid, and it still had not reached your reserve price. I thought that was pretty rude and highly unprofessional as a seller.
As far as me bidding on your items with fake names, I have no idea what you are talking about, and am sure that Ebay tracks IP addresses, and will easily confirm that the only bids placed on your auction items by me came thru my only ebay account.
I'll just chalk this up to your inexperience at how Ebay works and should work.
It also helps in your communication, if you use punctuation, capital letters, and full sentences.
Good luck with your sales.

Why would you think that I bid with a fake name? What motivation would I have to do that?
I apologize that I remembered incorrectly about the difference between the highest bid and my bid. I forgot because it was over 2 weeks ago. The difference was actually $26.97, which I felt was not (close) to your reserve price, because the unsuccessful high bid of $122 was 28% more than my bid of $95.03. So I told you that in a message, big deal. Just because the highest bidder is not a registered user anymore does not mean that they were not a legitimate bidder back then. My feedback rating of over 500 with 99.8% positive seems to show my experience with Ebay is a little more extensive than yours.
