I won an auction for $7.70 that I found out later wasn't really a legitimate auction. I first thought this was a charity for some sort of organization but after winning it I reread and it was for her family. I posted a thread on eBay asking if this was legit. And a poster said "No." I contacted her about this and she excused me for the transaction. This all took place on October 25th.
On November 13th, I left neutral feedback stating calmly "Charities for yourself are not legitimate items to sell on eBay. Do not buy! C-!" and that was true to the word. Yesterday on Nov. 22nd, she sent a Feedback Revision request (no other communication) and threatened to report me to eBay if I didn't revise the feedback. Usually I try to work things out with sellers if problems arise beforehand but there was no working with her. So I simply declined and told her to leave me alone. Which she didn't.
She then proceeded to file a UPI dispute which was a mistake that I even paid the tramp. I just didn't want a strike on my record. I told her I wanted my money back because she wasn't selling a legitimate item. She sent me a reply back stating she would not refund me. I then contacted eBay customer support and spoke with a specialist who looked into this very auction and told me this was not allowed on eBay and that if I opened a case, I would get my money back.
As a last email I told that seller I was filing reports for this and she once again was vindictive and threatened to report me to eBay. I'm finding that a large number (not all) of eBay sellers are scummy people who have nothing better to do but to take your money and either be uncooperative or nasty in nature. This is certainly one of them! Watch out for this one!
