Eric Pigg

Ebay Sales rule my life. I like selling phones, and I like the money I get out of it. My parents like how it’s something that can get me into college, and they like to hear about it.

I had a Blackberry Tour I purchased on eBay with the intent of selling, from an amateur seller from Tennessee. I purchased it for $105, and listed it auction style in order to gain new clients. After the three day auction ended, it sold for $174.50 to Mr. Eric Pigg. He opted for the expedited shipping, which increased my profit margin by $4.70. Soon after his win, he sent me numerous emails in regards to if it was shipped yet. After assurance that it was shipped, the emails stopped.

Around two days after the purchase had been shipped, the emails began. He was having trouble activating the phone because the previous owner failed to properly close her account with Verizon. Within two hours, he had sent me enough emails to make my phone vibrate like a massaging tool. Given it was a Sunday, I was unable to do much in regards to rectifying the issue. After apologizing multiple times, he sent a grand total of 97 emails in 1 day, and made threats about “ending” me. As he filled my inbox enough to piss me off, I filed a harassment charge with eBay, and forwarded them the messages. Because of this, he was kicked off eBay. Roughly a week later, he sent the phone back with a used Kleenex included.

Eric Pigg lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee in a two-story, Three Bedroom - 2 Bathroom, brick house valued at $298,000, and built in 1987 (I looked up the house value online). Given his marital status (constant references to his wife), and his email address ending with ’74’, I’m assuming he’s 36 Years Old. By looking at his recent purchases, leather wallets, drives a 2003-2007 Honda Accord, owns a 2004 Ford F-150 (recent eBay Parts Purchases), and he likes beef jerky

As I use a PO Box for shipping, it is almost impossible for him to follow through with his threats. I seem to know a lot more about him than he does about me.
