What is an email reverse lookup and what is it used for?
Does it strictly provide who owns that email address. Surely privacy isnt invaded.

Do you mean "Reverse DNS Lookup?"

In regards to e-mail, you can look at the e-mail headers and find out where the e-mail originated whether the e-mail was sent out legitimately or by some spam-bot working on some zombie computer.

If you mean "Reverse DNS Lookup", it’s a way of finding the hostname or host associated with a given IP address or host address.

Typically, the DNS is used to determine what IP address is associated with a given hostname; so, to reverse resolve a known IP address is to lookup what the associated hostname is belonging to that IP address.

A reverse lookup is often referred to as reverse resolving, or more specifically reverse DNS lookup, and is accomplished using a "reverse IN-ADDR entry" in the form of a PTR record

I am being given the run around by a person I purchased something from on ebay. I know he lives in liberal Kansas and have his name, the name that the ebay account is under and the name that the papypal account is under, but, I don’t have an address or working phone number to narrow results down with. I know some places list email address on a reverse lookup like the reverse yellow pages do. Can someone help. He has stolen close to 10 grand from me and other ebay users.
thanks

If you have his name and state your best bet would be to go to yellowbook.com see if you can find his phone number and maybe even address. There’s also websites like peoplefinders.com that can give good information, but they cot $20-$40 and can be a bit of a gamble on reliability. If the situation is costing you money to resolve you can call the sheriff’s office in his county and see what they’ll be willing to do. Good luck.
