    Tell you what genius, why not find out the difference between being bi-polar and multiple personality disorder.

    I am going to add my 2p worth here.

    First I am possibly more naieve than some here but I don't find this in the least funny, I find it very very sad.

    It seems to me that if the poster calling herself dino-princess-char is genuine and is the person involved in the ebay sale she is not very well and in urgent need of some help, I do not mean that in a nasty way I just think from reading t6his thread that she may be in the need of medical assistance.

    I actually believe Mippy has reported the facts as she knows and beleves them, I think she may have been caught up in the illness of dino-princess-char and I don't honestly believe she is being malicious just misguided.

    I would like to wish Mippy well and the real auction winner who is another innocent bystander in this whole incident.

    This is such a dullard comment, learn about mental illness first before making stupid statements. FWIW, the OP gave the not-buyer some sound advice about seeking help, no further comment is needed on the health of either party.

    It's a somewhat bizarre course of events, but i have to say i feel sorry for both parties here, all be it for different reasons.

    It should be noted that the health issues were brought up by the parties themselves as a mitigating factor and if it was not of any importance then why did both parties feel the need to play the health card at all?

    You're delusional and a pest to others. I suggest you look at your own 'positive' feedback from poor sellers who have dealt with you and question a) how honest and right-on you really are and b) whether ebay would care a jot about you kicking off about, and do I need to repeat this along with others, a transaction that....never existed! You're wasting people's time and/or giving them a bit of a laugh at your queer attitude. I'm sure you don't want that so perhaps you'll learn to desist with this at some point.

    Didn't think much of this comment either, but another quote springs to mind though,
    "learn about mental illness first before making stupid statements"
    Quite a lot of abusive comments on this thread.
    Maybe help rather than name calling would be better for everyone?

    This thread is more entertaining than an episode of Jeremy Kyle! :D Don't be bullied mippy, it's not your fault some muppet can't place a bid without fluffing it up.

    I notice that the OP stated her own health issues in response to a comment made by another poster questioning why she did not have her own account. I don't think she mentioned them so that they would have any bearing on how people viewed this case, but sadly some seem to have latched onto them and in the course of this the original discussion has been somewhat lost.

    Can't say anything for the other poster though.. a case of medical one-upmanship perhaps?

    It's unfortunate you take statement of fact as abuse when said 'buyer' was shown to be delusional in her belief about what she could achieve in this, a pest to the seller through threatening emails and shown to be a troublesome ebayer by her feedback, none of my post referred to any mental health issues.
