in good faith i sold an autographed, by a very famous star, 45rpm single on ebay ( i worked at his record company and was given it by a co-worker so i know it to be genuine ) when the buyer received it - HE deemed it to be a fake and,without any proof to me, says he has sent it to one of those " authentication "
companies who said they couldn't verify it for certification, i checked with the company and they do NOT ask from whom, where or when it was obtained - so, to save their own bacon, i repeat did not say they could guarantee it be genuine nor did they say that it is a fake.

after various e-mails, increasingly hostile, the guy is now threatening to sue me even though both e-bay and paypal have approved the sale, i live in the UK he lives in the US - do i need to worry about his threat of a lawsuit ? very many thanks for any response

Should add, report this buyer to ebay as an abusive user and leave negative feedback saying what he has done .
I am an ebayer myself over 550 +ve feedback but you do get the odd idiot who wants something for nothing , this sounds like one of them.

i'm guessing he bought it to sell on and wanted PSA/DNA authentication so he could profiteer, i've been on their website and their expertise is verifying US sports memorabilia like signed baseballs, in addition the guy has repeatedly stated that he would send me jpegs of their comments - guess what ? never had a single one !

i sent a guy in sweden an old pop flyer in a cardboard-backed envelope with " PLEASE DO NOT BEND " in red on the front - the swedish postman still bent it and the guy wanted to know what i was going to do about it !!! ( i refunded him the postage out of goodwill ) but i expect he wanted me to fly to stockholm and give the postman english lessons !
