I Know the persons legal name and would like to know if they are selling on Ebay

This is a good place for some basic investigative skills. If the
person is selling on eBay there is a good chance that they con be
located. Without any specifics I will provide a couple of pointers
that have assisted me in my investigations.

Google is a great resource. If the seller is using his name it is
possible that there may be reference to that name and an eBay account.

Research common user names that the individula may be using (both on
Google and eBay) on eBay you would click on "Advanced Search" in the
upper right corner of the screen. Look for Members on the left side of
the screen and click on "Find a Member" here you can enter part of a
potential user name and you may see one or more result. Play with a
variety of spellings, and combinations.

You can also do the smae thing with all known email addresses using
the same exact steps as above. Keep in mind that eBay will only
confirm that an account exists when you check an email address, they
will not give you the name of the account.

If you know the product, or types of products that the seller is
listing try searching for those items. Don't forget to search
completed items as well.

Knowing some basic information about the individual will go a long way
toward identifying any potential account.

I hope that these basic tips can be of some use.

If you have the email id or eBay username of the person. you can click
on the link below
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQtZvbQQsofindtypeZ25
now type in eBay username or email id
in the next page under the sellers item section click on the sellers
item. it would take you to the next page and then you can see if some
one has some listings which are live on ebay or not.
