Whacky ebay case is this criminal?

[mramerican]

I am based in Indiana

With that said I posted a negative feedback for a seller, what i think happened next is he called ebay pretending to be me with my credentials and had a case opened on my behalf and then won the case! The feedback was removed.

I did not suffer any montetary or physical losses from this, but is this something that can be punished criminally?

What you have is a vague suspicion. Vague suspicions do not a criminal case make.

True. Very true, but a case was opened on my behalf and i'm the only one with access to my account, i can only deduce the only way the case was opened was that the seller used the information he had access to (my zip code name and address) to open this case.. a case he knew he could win (and did)

Lets say hypotheticly he actually did pull this off, is it criminally chargable?

Hypothetically? Yes.

Start with the truth. You wrote it in post #1.

The removal of a comment I posted is enough to have something like this prosecuted?

I believe your premise was:

I don't see how anyone is going to go through the motions to prove it. And, my "hypothetically" was more related to if a crime occurred if your facts could be proven. Depending on what facts are proven, there could have hypothetically been a crime committed. I don't think such things have been prosecuted as a rule, but, hypothetically, sure.

The removal of the negative comment you posted, without knowing who did it or how or why, is not enough for a criminal charge and, without any losses suffered by you and no facts, you have nothing to support a civil action.

Hypothetically, anything can be imagined.

My question is more hypotheticly if this happened (and it was proven he opened a case claiming to be me only to have it closed), how could this be prosecutable if I can't prove any loss or intent for monetary gain from this guy? What element about this would make it a crime? - everything i read about this says that there has to have been a significant loss suffered, or a potential loss - i can't see one from mine or ebays perspective if he misrepresented himself to ebay

So, let's see...this guy contacts eBay and claims to be you, having all of your identifiable information. In other words, he uses your identity. What crime do YOU think may have happened?

I am looking for legal theory here, not troll posts - obviously something NOT RIGHT has happened here, i am looking for someone ot shed some light on the legal terminology or on what specificly makes this a crime so I can decide whats next

Read my post again...pick out key words. I'm trying to help you help yourself. Besides, this is all hypothetical, right?
