    I take it that is a joke, you wouldn't really do that would you? If so, it would be the businesses involved that would suffer far more than her.

    I sympathise with you about the unfair feedback, a totally unreasonable buyer.

    It was a joke, it was a comment made about something that I'd love to do, but wouldn't do for the exact reason you said, its not fair on the businesses involved.

    Its a shame about the feedback, and the fact that I've had to repay the money so I've actually made a loss just to have a negative on my account.

    Ah well, life goes on and if thats the worst I've got to worry about, then there are people in a far worse position than me :-)

    Thanks to everyone who took the time to cheer me up!

    Scam her back if she ever sells anything.
    It's all I can suggest. It's the easiest thing in the world to scam a seller.
    Something needs to happen to get teh brains at Ebay HQ thinking of a way to make it safe for everyone.

    Aren't you the one with the dodgy buyer? No wonder you are paranoid.

    I must admit, i often think i will get them back - but never do.

    I posted one item to a buyer with great feedback - before they had paid - as it was the last time i needed to go to the post office and i was going away.

    He did not pay and emailed me to say it was my fault for posting early. He then ignored my request for payment.

    He's now a seller - and i was going to buy from him, do an INR and trash his stars. But i couldn't bring myself to do it.

    Morals can be a pain at times :D

    I'll be honest, I can hold a grudge, so if she lists something, even perhaps three years from now, I'll ensure that its me who buys it! Merely to trash her account as badly as I can.

    Sad really isn't it, but since she seems to actually enjoy doing it to people, I've no real problem with doing it back to her.

    Unfortunately eBay only allows you to block 5000 names, and I bet our list would very quickly top that!

    There are quite a few account bashers - some post on here. Its an inferiority complex thing - the only way to bring excitement to their sad pathetic lives.

    Really? I don't remember anyone posting on here saying that they would 'bash' an account. Can you find any postings on this forum to back up that statement?
