Abuse from an experienced buyer.

[rpongon]

This is my first time writing to the community. I've been on ebay for many years and mostly as a buyer. Received my share of good buys

and not so good. Except for a few instances, the not so good were my fautl but I paid promptly and left no negatives.

 I understand the rules of the auction. I think I had 100% approval until I started selling.

I was recently given negative feedback from an experienced buyer who seemed it his privilege to ignore the 'contractual' obligation

of the auction and weasel his way out and blame me for not following through with some comment he assumed represented a

return. He was illmannered, unethical and extremely rude. He admitted playing a game but then twisted the thought around.

Anyways, to make this short, the few negative feedbacks I have received as a seller were from a few like him that certainly knew

the 'contractual' obligation and any request for a return where no return was stated was  a 'favor' so to speak and should be requested

respectfully and professionally and is at rhe seller's discretion (except for listing errors and such).. I've accepted  return on items but I trully believe none of these were

from 'real' potential buyers. I would expect experienced buyers not to 'jerk' sellers around and if they act rudely should not expect

privileged consideration (he kept referring to his score). Instead they should set the standard of using words like 'Please', 'excuse me for asking',

'I apologize', instead of  abuse and accusations.

Are these people appointed plants from ebay? They seem to be. They certainly seem unprofessional with ittle training though

this last one was making accusatory references to about how he was planting the situation and accurately predicted my response.

Of course then he'd backpedal and say no he wasn't doing it. Really bizarre behavior.

Even when I commented that if he'd just presented it as 'buyer's remors'e I'd accept the return, he said 'no' I wouldn't. I had no choice but to point out

that he was an  experienced buyer and knew the rules. It  was not a money making thing and I should have kept it.

He tried to get me to send it to his ,a repair person (it was a watch sold as not working), but then decided he didn't want to

spend the money. His ebay moniker is a reference to watches and he's bought quite a few I think. Maybe his friend wanted to get paid

adequately so he changed his mind on the purchase. In fact. that's exactly what he said. He didn't want to spend $ to fix it.

Any comments are welcome. Good Luck. 

PS - I already know how to block him.
