Abusive emails

Well, the character to whom I delivered neutral feedback (he sent the
wrong bloody goods, but he did sort it out and re-send, this time the
right ones) has been sending me nicely abusive emails.

Seems he took exception to my mentioning, on the feedback, that I was
out of pocket as a result of having to post the stuff back to him.

Claims he enclosed the postage dosh - he might well have done. All I
know is I never saw it, and nothing fell out of the pack with the goods,
but if he sealed it up with the packaging, then into the bin it went. If
it was a cheque, it hasn't been cashed.

Anyway, I've had one of those lovely emails that should be all in purple
crayon: "YOU LYING BASTARD...." etc etc.

I also pointed out, reasonably, that with all the hassle and extra
postage costs, I'd have been better off buying from a shop, especially
as he first tried "padding" the P&P by 20%[1], to which he responded
that the goods cost ukp32 (I paid 12.50), so I sent him the url of a
highly respected shop that sells them for ukp12.05+VAT+P&P.

I've tried, ever so reasonably, to point out to him that neutral
feedback is just that: neutral. Doesn't affect his 100% rating. "I'M
ONLY HUMAN... DON'T YOU EVER MAKE MISTAKES?" he whinged.

Answer, yes, and if I do, I'd expect neutral feedback (at least). You
screw up, and he did, then you're not going to get praise, are you?

Anyway, if I get more of his poison pen, is it worth complaining to
Ebay? Or will they just tell me to **** off, ignore me, or charge me for
their arbitration service?

I mean, it's not a dispute - I've got the goods, and they work, but I've
got this looney tune irritating me just because I left neutral feedback,
ffxake.....

[1] Claimed it was 4 quid, later revised to ukp3.32. special delivery, I
think. When I posted the stuff back, first class, it cost me
ukp2.10.....

Are you a looney magnet?

Now give feedback outlining that you have been subjected to a torrent of
abusive emails. You wouldn't be lying, and you have proof. Kinda childish I
know.

Ebay probably won't take too kindly to it, but you'd turn a fetching shade
of puce waiting were you to hold your breath.

As it isn't a dispute over payment or reciept of goods, Ebay are likely to
do little other than caution the luser. You could, if the numpt persists,
write a strongly worded ( think Annoyed of Ambridge type ) to his ISP.
Overall, don't taunt him and hope he goes away may be the best plan.

I hate to point out the obvious but why not just block his email address, that way he
can work himself up in to a right old lather without you knowing anything about.

This is very easy to stop. Send only the following words in an e-mail.

"I now consider the transaction closed, thanks for sorting everything
out. Please do not contact me again or I will be forced to leave
NEGATIVE feedback about you."

I didn't think you could alter the feedback once you'd left it.

No, but there's nothing to stop leaving *another* feedback.
