Long story short - we think my uncle is taking antiques from our Grandparents and selling them on e-bay. Is there anyway we can figure out his user-name based on items that he has sold in the past?

you can search completed listings - did you even go to ebay.com?

I was unware of the completed listings search feature - that's why I asked.

your first step should be to stop your "uncle" from visiting you.

I actually haven't seen him in about 12 years. All of this is going on in Upstate New York - anyways - any helpful responses?

Find your uncle's zip code and make sure you limit your searches to that zip.
Search completed listings.
Pay attention to usernames, he might be using something that you'd recognize as him.
But, would you really recognize your grandma's antiques if you spotted them?

I did the zip code thing - the only thing we know he sold was a vintage waffle iron. That helps to narrow it down.
