    OMG how bad is that, i havent yet come across a nasty buyer/seller but i did have some trousers sent to me this week saying they are a size 24 but was sent a size 12!!!! i messaged the seller, but no answer, i have raised it but still no answer!

    Oh i had a bad experience (just remembered) when i sold an ipod, brand new seller said he never received it, then said it was 2nd hand, went on for 4 months!!!!!!! eventually i got my ipod back and he got a refund, but my god it was annoying!

    OP, you might like to remove your ebay id from your OP... I assume that is your real ID.

    I agree. OP I'd remove the sellers ID too because you can be traced by it and not everyone who uses this site uses it for good.

    Advice taken and removed my ID and the sellers ID :-)

    Fridayschild, I have requested that her feedback to me is deleted. I will be surprised if it isn't, but really makes no difference to me as I always watch anything I'm bidding on before it ends and pay immediately. In 40 odd transactions (not everyone has left feedback) I've not had any problems! I usually ask a lot of questions too, this one just escaped me!

    Gratefully, paypal have the tracking information so I don't need to worry about any strangers trotting halfway across the country to accuse me of theft! :-) I'd love to see her try to kick my head in though with her pixie feet lol.

    It seems I was unlucky at buying something from a total cow. It has kinda put me off because I hope never to come across someone like her again!!
    Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)

    Christ on a bike, why on earth would someone get in such a rage over a pair of shoes? _pale_ They described them wrong, you pointed it out, and suddenly you're a 'f***ing liar'?! What is wrong with some people?! In fact I'm sure you could report them to the police for threats and online harassment.

    Sorry that it upset you on your birthday, have some :j:beer::rotfl::bdaycake::cheesy:_party_:dance: from me!

    Oh yes, take some time to leave the 'best' negative that you can.
    Unfortunately they mentioned the PP claim.

    Fortunately the seller doesn't seem that bright enough chase it, as that's getting deep into the weirdness of ebay rules. :D
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    Sorry for your bad experience.
    The thing is the internet is a funny place....so many people are happy to be abusive online yet would NEVER say the same person to person.
    Anyway, forget about her, once the shoes are sent back and you have your money, move on, enjoy your birthday and don't let this put you off completely!

    Macfly, you don't get any thanks for trying to scare me half to death! :-( Although would be very funny if she did. I'd call her sad before picking the phone up to call the police. She'd get sectioned for travelling a couple of hundred miles to shout at a stranger!!

    I've tracked the parcel myself. Ironically, RM tried to deliver it this morning and no one was in. Typical!!
