Aggressive and Malicious Seller on Ebay
Summary: almita661 shared an experience about receiving threats and harassment from an eBay seller after leaving a negative review due to the seller's no-return policy. The seller responded with offensive language and implied threats, which almita661 believes constitutes targeted harassment. They are seeking advice on how to report this misconduct to eBay, as most e-commerce platforms have strict policies against such behavior.
I was threatened by an Ebay Seller as she posted twice because she did not like the negative 1 star review I posted.
My Review:
It is disappointing to experience such total inflexibility from a seller, especially after purchasing multiple items. When I requested a return on one of the items, I was simply told to resell it myself because they don't accept returns. A rigid "no returns" stance ultimately drives buyers away, hurts long-term sales, and misses out on loyal customers. I will not be shopping here again and highly recommend future buyers proceed with caution.

This Feedback Follow Up on my Ebay contains offensive words /language and implies threats and constitutes targeted harassment.
The phrases "SEE WHAT HAPPENS" and "WILL VISIT YOUR STORE AGAIN EXCEPT YOU WON'T KNOW IT'S ME" strongly imply an intent to retaliate, disrupt your business, or engage in malicious behavior anonymously.
Most e-commerce platforms (like eBay, Etsy, or Amazon) have strict policies against seller misconduct, harassment, and feedback abuse.
Who can I contact at Ebay to help?

I think customer service will remove the feedback including your response and the seller’s followup. You’ll need to ask customer service to review it.
In the meantime, be sure to put them on your blocked list. As a general rule, it is good to have a second ID for buying when you are a seller, so that you don’t face this problem.
Here's how to contact eBay general customer service.

3. Answer the chat bots question by stating what you need help with.
4.Type AGENT ( you may have repeat steps 3 and 4)
5. Request a call back or live chat. (Note that the contact options vary depending on the topic and staffing availability)
