I've ebayed for some years now.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, you get a nutcase that falls out of
the cracks. He may have a particular beef against you that only he
understands.. who know? and who cares?

If you have great feedback, then not even this guy with his single
negative feedback can phase you. It takes a long pattern of negatives
to really ruin a feedback rating.

Just stop talking to the guy in emails, take your single negative
feedback in stride, give him one, and then move on. You don't want to
carry on with the guy because he might then go through the trouble of
settin-up another Ebay account on another host and mess with you some
more.

recently sold a sony SW portable via EBAY. The radio was shipped in good
condition. Immediastely on receipt by buyer- i received email stating I had
"lied" ie--the radio was DOA/and had evidence the hold in cabinet screws had
been losened and marred. He thyen called me and left an answering machine
message threatening" action" to wreck my ebay account!--the--he posted negative
feedback....all this done without even trying to negotiate with me (I offered
tips to ensure he had installed batteries properly etc--he replied stating he
was a "ham operator"-and-"dont insult my intelligence".

Sent him more emails offering to send him another identical radio or refund his
$$$.

what would you do--buyer wanst refund and ill be left with a broken radio in
return.

i suspect buyer broke radio-or-it suffered shipment damage (buyer denied both,
of course).

I note buyer hasd only 1 ebay transaction on his "feedback" column (positive as
a seller) (I have 60 + since 1/04).

this has the feel of a scam to me--buy stuff, claim it's broken asnd force the
seller to refund the money??

need suggestions as to further actions.

thanx!!!!
