buyer threatens w/neg feedback
Apr 15, 2012 12:57 AM

Pretty sure I've been scammed...buyer buys carpenter pants,swears they are LOGGER pants,demands a refund or he will leave neg. feedback...refuses to return item unless return postage is ALSO paid...did immediately refund initial shipping and cost of item....said I would refund return shipping costs upon return of item....so now he has everything and I holding the empty sack.  Then I notice he has private feedback...so am not sure what has happened in the past.....there is a reason for it to be PRIVATE....and that 100% feedback...doesn't mean much when a seller can't be honest with the bad transaction. Guess I should have figured there was an issue,when he thinks a logger wears full length,baggy pants with a hammer loop and side pockets...

It doesnt matter if he actually threatened you
through ebay messaging where ebay can see it that is considered extortion and ebay will remove the negative. It is against ebay rules to threaten a negative and ask for anything not offered in auction like return shiping etc.
Look ebay ebay feedback guidlines you can nit threaten with a negative

That happened to me one time years ago. Contact paypal they may reverse it for you if you dont get the item back. Its worth a try.
