Harrassment form a seller

[peppers-tree]

Hello all... I am being harrassed by a Seller to remove a Neg I gave him for faulty goods ( chinese) 14 emails and counting. I know it is against Ebay rules to exhort feedback removal from buyers .I know the rules.. I have contacted Ebay and reported the emails and content 5 or 6 times and all I get is the links to the rules...I have blocked this seller but I know he can still email me.. The whining pidgion english is a croc and annoying. He says on his listing pages that he is from Australia. Says he is NOT dropshipping and yet my goods took 5 weeks to arrive. personally I think he is in HK.. Ebay seems to pander to these powersellers and buyers are left to rot. Their advice to me is to not answer and he will go away.. Guess what?... in 2 weeks, he hasn't gone away...What else can I do ?

Ok... You asked for it....here is his latest email...( I didn't promise him anything... Really !)

Tell them no, you will not change your feedback.

Tell them not to contact you again.

Tell them if they do, you will pass their information on to the police.

After that email, never respond to the again.

Otherwise, it would appear that you are enjoying this as much as them.........

Awww! Come on, it is Christmas, give him a break. Your life won't be any different, but his might.

Just saying  but if he has given you a full refund then it seems he is doing the right thing as a seller and taking responsibility for the faulty goods. If you did agree before hand to remove the neg for a refund then I think it is only fair that you should do it. It seems he is even willing to go an extra mile to get the neg removed by offering to discuss what MORE he can do to fix the situation. To be conpletely honest I don't think from what you have said that this seller is any kind of scammer or that he has been at all rude to you. It seems more spiteful on your side. sorry but JMHO.

1987misssarah ...You jump to conclusions .... I NEVER at any time agreed to a neg removal....He gave me the refund of his own accord to try to get me to change the neg. He never once took ownership for the faulty goods...he paid the refund hoping that I would remove it....

There is a principal here too..The Neg was for a good reason. One that I do not take lightly. I thought long and hard about it beforehand.... Negs are there to warn other buyers about the faulty goods...

He also states that he and his goods are in Australia when in fact he and his goods are in HK which he admits in one of his emails...

Bye the way Phorum, it seems that your tactic worked, I haven't heard from him today.......

I just had a look at the listing and it specifically says 'Standard International Flat Rate Postage'

[1987misssarah]

please take note that I said 'IF' you agreed before hand. I do believe that a seller giving a promt refund is taking responsibility for faulty goods. And if the selling outside Australia is the biggest issue here then simply report him to Ebay for giving false details and then block comunications. simple.

he did Not give  a prompt refund.. It was issued 10 dys after the sale and after many emails pleading with me to remove the neg.I never at any time asked for a refund. Did not start a dispute . He just kept bombarding me with pleading emails to remove it..

I think you have this all wrong

A) item clearly says items are sent from HK and is sent via international standard mail - how has he misrepresented item location?
B) listing says there is a 5 day handling time, you received it in under 1 month which is pretty good.

Seems to me that you did not read the listing correctly. I think the neg is unwarranted JMO though
