Getting harassed and insulted over a listing.

How would I go about blocking this person and or reporting them? I simply counter offered someone's offer to me and they started going off on me saying I'm a crack head, that my mom was hitting the bottle when I was in the womb and that I'm ruining America. All because I listed a cpu cooler that has a yellow fan and he calls my backstory "**bleep**" when I have pictures that I purchased it that way.Harassment

Of course, block the buyer.  Just don’t take it personally- you shouldn’t go through life upset when a complete stranger insults you.

Re: Getting harassed and insulted over a listing.

I second this.  Actually, I would go further and remove everything in the listing description beyond the bare bones.  Unfortunately, descriptions like the one you currently have up just invite trolls.  All you need to say is:

 

"AMD Wraith Prism CPU Cooler Fan Shroud Heat Sink Air Am4 Am5 Processor.  Good, working condition. Some discoloration of fan, no box. See pics."

 

Make sure you have pics of the discoloration so potential buyers can judge for themselves.  There's no need for any more than the basics.

Might be too late for that, didn't see this till now. And it won't let me edit it.

Don't worry about it. A moderator took care of it for you already. No worries.
