Left Negative Review - Now would like to share messages with Ebay
The seller did return my money after his deception, but in his messages to me, he used an "F" word and also used a slur. Is there any way to share his messages with Ebay? The seller is a menace.

·3 years agoLooking at the last Fifteen Pages (so far) of the feedback buzzing around your profile it looks like 90% (Conservatively) of your business and Inventory gets past around between the same Four or Five individuals that each have there own exact generated feedback... Based on what i'm viewing I wouldn't worry about anything except those Four or Five 90+% folks..... I'm still looking through all FB left for ya so I'm certain i'm mistaken..
Cool business

·3 years agoHonestly, I would just let it go and not buy from them anymore.
It would be different if they issued a threat against me or my family.
But the offensive word or two?
Nah, I would not waste my time getting even for being “disrespectedâ€.
Sure it was unprofessional and terribly inappropriate.
So, the best way to tell show your displeasure is not to be their customer. If enough people do that then he might get the hint.
What do you gain by telling on someone like that? It’s over.
I understand you’re angry but it sounds like you’re looking for revenge more than you are wanting to save other buyers from this….trauma. ðŸ˜

You response is good and I agree with Kathiec as well but the Adlai Stevenson quote got my attention! So Thumbs up for that.
Happy New Year All!

Just ignore the messages and don’t respond to them either. Delete them. You can block him and and his messages, but if you responded to any of them it will be a month before it will kick in.
I doubt eBay will do anything beyond sending them some sort of message. No one at ebay will never tell you.

·3 years agoYou can certainly report the seller, but don't get your hopes up that eBay will take any action. Their policy usually is that they don't get involved in interpersonal disputes. The best course of action is to delete any further messages unread and move on.
It is a word - I wouldn't get worked up over it. I use it frequently.

OP3 years agoIf he just said "F" this or something like that, not as big a deal. But he's got a whole laundry list of problems, including the "bait and switch," and I'm not putting up with such disrespect, and the insults on top of "injury."

·3 years agoFrom your other two posts about this matter and your feedback left it's obvious your problems with this seller go far deeper than an F bomb. Ebay is not the disrespect police. If they tried to be, they'd have no time to do anything else. The reason eBay seldom gets involved in interpersonal disputes is that there are always two sides. From the tone of your other posts I strongly believe there was a lot of disrespect flying about from both parties. You've punished this seller to the maximum extent you're going to be able to.

·3 years agoHow do you report a 'would be' buyer? (that I blocked, they asked why, I told them, professionally, and then responded quite nastily, abusive and gross.
usgrant18642008
OP3 years agoI don't have that answer, but he was still able to private message you after you blocked him?
stainlessenginecovers
·3 years agoYes, if you don't have 'block blocked buyers from messaging'

·3 years agoA block on communication is delayed when buyer/seller have been in a transaction, and that, even when it takes effect is a band aid that is easily circumvented, if desired

·3 years agoWhen you contact Ebay, you give them the seller's name and ask them to review his emails to you and possibly to others. He might get a warning to knock off the cursing. He might.

·3 years agoI learned in kindergarten sticks and stones can hurt your bones but words cannot harm you.
I hate the f word and don't use it but I've heard it so often it no longer shocks me.

OP3 years agoHe used TWO "F" words. And they were both used to try label or describe me.
I did call him a jerk, after he used the first "F" word, but that's as far as I went. I said nothing that would get me kicked out of any junior high school class.

OP3 years agoI tried to edit a prior response, but it was too late. To be more clear in his language, I was called a Duckstick and a Bag. Replace the D and the B with an F in both of those words.

·3 years ago@fab_finds4u Well that just isn't true at all for many words. Things said to a person can cause as much damage in life as a baseball bat to the knee. I don't know what slur was used, but a slur is nothing to make light of with nursey school rhymes.
fab_finds4u
·3 years agoWe are supposedly adults on eBay. I know of no words said to an adult that can cause that kind of pain like a bat to the knee unless you have a small mind and choose to let it rattle you. They got a rise out of the OP which means they made the OP their puppet. And they're still pulling their strings. I'm sure they're thrilled to know they're the puppet master. Probably sitting back laughing because they're so eat up about being disrespected.
usgrant18642008
OP3 years agoThey're not pulling anything. And I don't know how much they're laughing about losing money - the money from the return of the sale and the cost to have the item shipped back to them. Not to mention the possible suspension they might get for the foul language and using a homophobic slur. If he's so desperate to sell an item for a few bucks by bait and switch, then I'm guessing any disruption to his business is not good.
kathiec
·3 years agoI can guarantee they won't get suspended for foul language or a homophobic slur. The absolute worst that will happen is that eBay will send them a "tsk, tsk, don't do that again" message.
