This is what he just sent me now:
Listen here Mister!
I took part in one of your auctions and was in line to win it before you opportunistically closed it prematurely so that my winning bid did not materialize.
I then forwarded you a clarification question to which you responded with something that does not stand to reason as, quite clearly, eBay allows you to add new photos to an auction item whilst it is in process.
It is neither fair nor proper to sabotage an existing auction whilst it is in motion simply because you are greedy and want more for your item. Nevertheless, I was happy to let it pass and not report you as I have more important things to divert my attention to...
Now that you claim that you reported me for harassment, you are forcing my hand to report you based on a statement of fact..... if you received multiple messages from me (identical), it will have been the result of a technical problem... certainly not an attempt by me to harass you.
Truth always hurts! Imbecile!!
I'm not answering the buyer, as such, just referring to a couple of things they have -
The multiple (identical) message thing could well be a tech issue - I find it happens sometimes when people send me a message via an app on their phones, usually it sends 2-3 times.
That being said, you didn't really owe this member anything. You didn't even owe them an explanation as to why the bid was cancelled and auction ended. I get that this sort of issue causes frustration for bidders, but they have no claim over an item unless they've won it and paid for it, in real terms.
They seem to have taken your actions personally, and tried to take a pot shot about greed, but considering all that really happend was that an item was started over and updated, no increase in price and the same opportunity to bid / win (at least, in the beginning), at best the extra time for the auction to end would have been a mild inconvenience (or so I presume, since I can't see they've taken issue to the extended time frame) - maybe the better photos make it more likely the item will fetch a better price, but that'd just mean the buyer wouldn't have won, or would have paid more if they did, so a bit of resentment over that, p'raps.
They have nothing to report you for.
