Well, it finally happened - somebody left me negative feedback after having a stellar record since first registering and selling in 2008.
I sold a supplement I could no longer use. I made sure to state it was opened in the item condition, seller notes, description, and even provided a picture of the seal removed. Apparently, the buyer skimmed over these details, and decided to purchase it on a whim, assuming it was new.
She composed a message in a fit of rage, blaming me for her mistake. I tried to rectify the situation by offering a refund, so long as she returned the product. She declined, stating her area was a COVID hot spot and couldn't make it to the Post Office. I responded, telling her to keep (or discard) the supplement, but to still start the process. I would approve, and she would get her payment back at once. Not a word.
After the 7-day period, she left negative feedback, most of which she wrote isn't even remotely true. I have no plans on responding to it. I know to leave well enough alone at this point. And as for having it removed - it doesn’t violate eBay's policy from what I can tell.
With that being said, I do wonder if I was even allowed to sell an opened supplement. I honestly believed somebody could use it and likely wouldn't mind. I may have been in the wrong here. If that's the case, then I probably had this one coming.

However, if you do decide to respond as has been mentioned here, be prepared for an additional nasty remark to follow yours.
This has happened to me, and only served to make me MORE angry...sometimes better to let a dead horse lie.

You sold a buyer used vitamins? That's allowed on Ebay? I'm speechless! Has everyone forgotten the Tylenol murders?
