Abusive sellers on this forum

According to the banner at the top of the page this site is about "Consumer Revenge", so why is that this forum consists of numerous embittered and abusive traders that seem to take any opportunity to attack people that have had a poor experience buying on ebay, defending whichever third-rate dubious seller is on the other end of the transaction?

I'm not sure if the bitter sellers have somewhere else they can go to abuse people, but it shouldn't be here.

    There are too many to quote.

    Pity you seem to have missed them all since it happens every day

    Buyers are consumers and the complaints about Sellers is mounting day by day but all the Sellers here can do is to complain about the buyers

    Any posts that you consider abusive should be reported to the admin team for review. All you need to do is click on the red triangle on any post .

    Neither Jo-B or myself read every thread and not every one considers the same thing abusive anyway so always best to refer.

    Isn't that handy!

    I take it this forum should be dedicated to whinging buyers then?

    Rather than a two sided discussion.

    There was a thread that did become abusive and quite scary. It was reported appropriately and dealt with . It was also mostly sellers that were abusive towards another seller.
    I for one would not want to see it all again.

    sometimes people need to distinguish between abuse and someone not agreeing with them
