Could I go to jail for not paying for an item on ebay?

Its not like it cost the seller anything to post on ebay. It was under 3 dollars. I cant even log back onto my account because I forgot the password. I would try to go back onto my email that I created the account with, but to protect my email from getting spammed by ebay I created a new email account that I lost the password too as well. Can the seller take legal action? This seller is a little crazy and I think he would go that far, no joke. I live in a different state far, far away from him.

Since when does it not cost a seller money to sell on eBay? Please tell me. I've been selling there for fifteen years and I always have to pay a final value fee and 99.9% of the time a insertion fee.

But you must be right. I'm sure they spent time taking the pictures, cropping them and editing them and posting them and writing out a description and then sitting around wondering if the item will sell and then smiling when it finally did only to find out a loser decided not to pay and they should be happy about that.

You can make all the excuses you want.
