For reference, in case this happens again to any of you...

eBay pretty much has a non-existant privacy policy, if you scam someone on eBay, all you need to do ask ask your local police department to send a fax to eBay asking for information on the party that scammed you.

"One fax to eBay from a lawman - police investigator, NSA, FBI or CIA employee, National Park ranger - and eBay sends back the user's full name, email address, home address, mailing address, home telephone number, name of company where seller is employed and user nickname. What's more, eBay will send the history of items they have browsed, feedbacks received, bids they have made, prices they have paid, and even messages sent in the site's various discussion groups."

All of this without a subpoena.

Hope this helps someone in the future!
