Well, I heard back from him today... two emails no less.... he felt that my email (which is reprinted entirely about the 5th post on this thread) was 'attacking' him, and he even threatened to leave ME negative feedback 'before giving him a chance to resolve the matter'. His first email tells me just to ship them back, but almost immediatly afterwards, he sends ANOTHER email completely attacking ME. Just to let ya'll know I'm not just flaming him, here's copies (cut/pasted, no edits except for names) of both of his emails to me. This guy is turning out to be a REAL jerk. FIRST EMAIL FROM HIM Just return them all and I will refund all your money including two way shipping. The pictures on the listing were very clear and it stated they were used. I apologize for having a heart attact I should have waited until after I shipped your switches. SECOND EMAIL FROM HIM (Before I get a chance to respond to the first one) By the way. I sent those to you on the 18th Priority Mail you should had them at least three days ago. maybe you should go off on the post office too. As far as feedbacks are concern, I learnt a long time ago if you leave FBs first the buyers never leave it. When I first started waiting until the buyer does it, my FB's doubled. If you really want one now I can leave you a negative You write and go off on me with out me even giving me a chance to do anything about it. I said they were in good used but, usable condition. I sold them to you for less then I would have listed them for. Maybe you can't use them I could. No problem I will completely refund your money. Send them all back. I was ill before I had the Heart attack when I sold them to you and I mix up a couple of orders. When you wrote wanting to know if they had been shipped I told you I had been ill and I was running behind. Why if you needed so fast didn't you ask for a refund them??? You could have canceled the deal and I wouldn't be stuck with the shipping. On the 18th I shipped 47 packages more then I have ever sent at one time. That is how far behind I was. Out of the 47 I shipped you are the only one who couldn't understand a person can get sick. Just remember " you reap what you sow". END OF HIS EMAIL MY RESPONSE EMAIL For starters, I don't feel that I in any way 'went off on you'. I read and reread my email to you several times, and I don't see how "I'd just like to know what, 'if anything,' you'd like to do about the situation" can be construed as going off on you. Since you got my payment on time, and I haven't left any feedback as of yet on ebay regarding the new switches, I don't see how on earth you can possibly leave me negative feedback, when I did everything I was supposed to. When someone misrepresents the product they're shipping, it would annoy anybody. Now, as I said in previous emails, I am sorry you were ill, that was a situation beyond either of our control, and for that, I have no problems with the slow shipping. I received the switches on Friday, Jan 20th, but because I wasn't home and they needed me to sign for it, it was returned to the post office, where I had to pick it up Monday (I worked Saturday). I have no problems at all with the switches that are in useable conditions, I was just saddened by the fact that you sent 7 Snap Switches, instead of the #4's you said you'd send. Again, I don't feel I went off on you in any way, and I simply wanted to know your side of the story before anything else happened. I am very sorry if you thought I was attacking you, that was never my intention. Rather than go through the hassle of re-shipping the switches, since I can use at least 10 of the #4's, I'll keep what you sent me. I simply wanted to know if you were willing to offer a slight refund on the Snap Switches, since I never would've paid $4.99 for used Snap Switches. I might've paid $2.99 for them, but not $4.99. I'm going to leave you positive feedback on the 6 brand new switches, since they were perfectly okay, and since the other switches weren't an ebay auction, I'll leave them out of my replies. I'm sorry again, if you felt I was attacking you, that was never my intention. END OF MY EMAIL TO HIM His last email simple says "Then send back the Snap Switches" At this point, I'm through with the whole mess. I'll continue shopping on ebay, but I won't buy from him again. If I shipped back the Snap Switches, I'd still have to wait for him to refund the money, and 'hope' he refuned the correct ammount, plus shipping, as he claims he would. I'd rather take the loss as a lesson learned and go on with life. I've changed my mind since I emailed him my response, regarding feedback on Ebay. I'm just not going to leave him any feedback at all, and be done with it. After reading more of his feedback, apparently this same situation has happened before, but he's bullied other's into leaving positive feedback, and they often sneak in "but it took a month to get shipped" or "seller always claims to be 'ill' " somewhere in the positives. He's gotten tons of neutrals in the last few years. sigh... Lesson learned.
