OK, so I'm back on my ebay rant. I bought an item that wasn't as it was described. I sent the seller an email. She didn't respond. I sent her another email. She didn't respond. I sent her an emails asking her whether she got my other email. SHe said her granddaughter had deleted some of her emails (i guessed that meant no) so I sent it again. She didn't response. I sent it again. Then I send an email saying that if I don't hear back from her by [last friday] I would consider it that she didn't want to address that her item wasn't accurately described and would leave negative feedback. I didn't hear back. Monday morning I send her an email saying that I was leaving negative feedback that day. She sends a response saying "what are you talking about?" Apparently her inbox only allows her to get messages that have no substance in them. So, I leave negative feedback and then I file a complaint with paypal to get my money back yesterday. TOday I get a message in my inbox from her with one word in the text. That word---evil.

I am many things, but I never thought I'd be boiled down to the word "evil". Dumb, maybe, badspeller definitely, but evil? evil? evil? She happened to have sent the email not as a response to mine, but with the "send a member an email" link. Which provided me with the opportunity to copy both ebay and paypal on the response in which I outlined why it was an abuse of the ebay mail system to send nasty messages using it and not to cumminicate about items, among other things. In total, I've probalby wasted more than an hour of my life (and the time of anyone who is reading this) for less money than I'd spend going out to dinner...but I decided it was my eBay member civic duty to put the bad apples in their place...otherwise the integrity of the system is compromised. Yes, you can thank me for saving eBay!
