The buyer admitted to the SCAM and when you read all his negative feedback 'left for others', at least 20 in the last 12 months, each one was regarding delivery and he added us into his pile.  I persisted hard and reported the guy several times over and one day I discovered my negative feedback was removed.

Maybe they read his message to me including his expletive rant against eBay Customer Support saying who protect him and buyers and shunt sellers (which is true)... maybe he got a red flag after dealing with me.
