In each / any of the few disputes I've encountered, I always make an honest attempt to resolve the matter in the best of Good Faith, but am not shy at all to respond in-kind to nefarious emails I get back. If I have made 2-way email contact with a problematic Seller, then I usually do not waste my time and money following up by telephone just to duplicate all that is said well in emails and create more friction. I do not waste an unreasonable amount of time with bad transactions, beyond offering solutions and working out solutions the other party might offer in good faith; I will go to lengths to resolve a mistake or extenuating circumstance a Seller or Buyer might have, which Ebayers should do and reflect well in their ebay Feedback. If the other party in a bad transaction doesn't want to correct the problem right away, then then the offended ebayer can resort to the many other measures amply available, which I am trying to demonstrate. That has proven to be the best approach, particularly with the weak enforcement that auction houses and their forums (such as ebay and pay pal) usually avoid like the plague to circumvent public view of the full circumstances of complaints. There are just too many other very effective means available to deal with internet business rats than running around in the circles and jumping through the circus of hoops ebay creates to stonewall their involvement in complaints.
Note: Ebay data provided here is readily available to the public on ebay and is not private under ebay nor any other rules. Other personal data provided here was provided to me by that person outside ebay business and therefore has no bearing upon the arbitrary gestapo policing by which ebay attempts to blackmail negative publicity. I am a dedicated, experienced and motivated advocate of privacy, business responsibility, whistle blowing, and I deplore ebay's / Pay Pal's widely reported nefarious business practices.
