Possibly a moral issue (reporting a seller)

[wolf*song]

Hey, all, been a while since I've been around.  You're welcome. 

So, I buy/sell/trade comics all over, including Facebook, and recently purchased a comic book from a guy who promised it in MUCH better condition than it actually was.  When I messaged him, he immediately accused me of wanting to "extort money" from him in exchange for not bad-mouthing him.  I offered three times to start the conversation over, as I felt he was venting over something that was ultimately a relatively minor issue, something all buyers/sellers go through occasionally.  Ultimately, there was a resolution, such as it is, after he called me several vulgar names, accused me of thievery and extortion, without a single apology.

During our conversation, he gave me his Ebay ID to prove he doesn't get complaints (which was irrelevant to the current issue, but whatever made him feel good about himself).  The things he said were so vitriolic that I'm considering reporting him to Ebay.  The trouble I'm having is if it's right to do that, considering he's a Top Seller and in fact has a very good rating of 99.99% and a few thousand transactions, give or take.

Thoughts?

(One example of what he said was that I was a "**bleep**" and was acting just like a sterotypical "**bleep**" by trying to rip someone off, and making something out of nothing; the "nothing" was that he said the comic was in 5.0 condition, but was actually a 1.0-1.5)

That was my bad. I saw a picture, but it was the comic bagged and boarded.  If I saw a pic of the book outside the bag, I never woulda done business with him.  And he's STILL contacting me on Facebook.  I'm not blocking him, yet, because he's giving me fuel to use if I report him for harassment.

Thanks, I appreciate that. 🙂

[wolf*song]

Aw, thanks!

[wolf*song]

I appreciate the thoughts, my friend, but it was a transaction on Facebook.

HA!  You're too sweet, and never hang your head.

I know, Facebook has "entitled" some people to be mean. Until somebody reports them and send them on vacation for 30 days without being able to comment, nor post anything. 

Ask me. Mea culpa! I was on this topic, this guy said "death to xxxxxxxx…...and I replied "leave your stupidity in the basement"....for that, I got a vacation for 30 days, all paid for by FB. But the guy was there, threatening everybody, nothing done to him

[wolf*song]

Thanks so much. 

Really, you guys are too kind.

[wolf*song]

UGH!!!  That's **bleep**!  I wonder if FB even investigates cases like that?

I'm banned from selling anything on FB on any of the BST pages, and I've never ONCE been given a reason why.  I'm pretty sure I know who did it, but the "how" of it is still a mystery to me, and I guess it always will be.  I'm over it, now, but I was LIVID when they did it to me, because there was NO REASON for it.

e BAY  probably believes  when e bay sellers cuss out their buyers  it's not in ebays  best interest. However  I don't know if they'll issue a warning  or not .  Tulips

That's an idea, especially since now he's contacting me again and accusing me of trying to get some kind loan in his name, which of course I am not.  He claims I'm extorting money from him, harassing him because I filed a Paypal case against him and lost, and now identity theft.  I'd love to show everyone the conversations, but I know it's against the rules.  This guy really needs professional help. lycan

I've known Ebay to step in and do their level best to stop it.  If the member is using the Ebay email system.

According to your state, Tulips, there is a lot of that going around.

If I was the type of person who was going to use homophobic slurs in communication with a person I am involved in a financial transaction with, I am most certainly the type to give the user name of a competitor in an effort to get you to take revenge on them instead of me.

I`ve bought from sellers that picture in bag. It makes for a lousy picture IMO. I`ve gotten pretty lucky though. I`d block that guy too, sounds like a whack job.
