I had to state the truth in the only place I found. The buyer stated they had received a rude response without being specific. I, however was specific when I sent messages trying to find what the buyer was expecting. I specifically aked them if item received was different to advertised & no reply. I have a perfect record (before this suspicious defamatory comment). I have still not received a PRECISE explanation of what was wrong with the sale. That was the first negative feedback against me in 50 sales. What would a reasonable person assume from that FACT?
If one states “Have never been treated so poorly by a seller” without a reason & seller with perfect record refutes it, a reasonable person would normally be sympathetic to the seller. Furthermore, the feedback obviously implies that I treated them badly or poorly. This is the problem when people do not deal in facts. I have not revealed the entire contents of messages, but you somehow defend the one insulting my reputation. See a simple definition of defamation:
“1. (Law) law the injuring of a person's good name or reputation. “
I claim I did NOT treat anyone poorly.
I do not think it is FAIR for a web auction site to allow injurious descriptions of feelings rather than actual facts.
It is VERY WORRYSOME that someone with a perfect record can have his reputation besmirched by UNSUBSTASNTIATED comments.
You sprung into action so fast you must be an expert. Can you explain what the probable purpose of publishing UNSUBSTASNTIATED bad feedback could be? On a world wide site.
I, on the other hand, was merely defending my reputation.
I am very concerned about the attacks on honest members who point out the lack of protection for well intended honest sellers.
