You can report the seller, whether eBay do anything about it is another matter.

basically it's your word against his. Nothing much ebay will do.

Unfortunately,  think it's buyer beware.

He started that auction at 99c.  People should know what they are bidding on

Research is all that is needed for buying,  IMO

Seller does state in listing -

Please note that I am not a store, I am cleaning out my collection, so there will be no refunds offered, unless the item has been misrepresented in some way.

That's not true according to that "experts" from Ebay.I have sold a spare parts to some imbecile stating everything what was

required.He claimed I misled and gave me a negative feedback.The girls from preschool in Ebay stated I should give more info.

I will not sell anymore on Ebay due to their unprofessional way to deal with enything.

Correction-anything.

Did you lose  a 'not as described' case or or did the buyer simply leave negative feedback. If it was only feedback, then a calm, factual reply   would have reassured any potential buyer. Your little rant only made you look foolish - and a bit suss. And when eBay removes a negative comment, they don't remove the seller's follow-up - in which case your reply would have looked even worse.

Oops - didn't notice this was an old thread. Grrrrh! Why is it, when you click on 'message listing' after reading a thread, it takes you back to the page on which that thread originally appeared rather than page1?

Dunno.

I just click back on the board header at the top eg >Buying>.

Or back button.
