I am being BLACKMAILED

By some divvy on eBay Angry

I bought a Benefit eyeliner off her for the princely sum of £4.20. Got it today and it's fake. I sent her this email:

"Hi,

I got the pencil this morning and I am really disappointed to see that it's a fake. It explains why it was so cheap but I buy Benefit a lot so I know a fake when I see it!

Can I have a refund please?"

She sent this reply:

"Hi there, I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the item, as far as my wholesaler states these are not fake but imports from USA, customer satisfaction is my priority and I would not knowingly sell fake items. As you are not happy I am willing to send a full refund once good feedback as been given. I wait for your reply.

Kind regards"

I just sent one back going "Hmmm, pretty sure that's blackmail."

Or is it bribery? I don't know. But still! Cheeky sod.

Should I leave shit feedback and sod the £4 or get therefund but lie? I am thinking of letting her keep the four quid and writing "SCRUBBY FUCK" as her feedback.

I never mentioned the police, Animation. If you don't maind.

It's not the £4.20 which is why I said I don't care about losing the money if I can write a truthful feedback.

Yes. The police Animation. I don't know what the nasty face is for, at the end of the day Buppy bought a totally genuwine benefit eyeliner from off the eBay and when it arrived it was actually a piece of charcoal wrapped in a quality street wrapper.

Why shouldn't she contact the constabulary?

Are you some sort of anarchist/communist?

Where does it say the word genuine? Caveat emptor.

I wish you worked in my office, you'd brighten up the dull days.

AuraofDora · 05/05/2011 20:31

leave negative feedback ensuring you quote her email
it's only £4.20 ffs
blackmailed, well it's not quite the word I would use for this
betch she uses a BlackBerry..boom boom

Animation · 05/05/2011 20:31

Sorry Bupcakes - I thought someone mentioned the police.

I'm your friend. Smile

FabbyChic · 05/05/2011 20:32

If you open a dispute the onus is on you to prove it is a fake.

I'd fuck off the 4.20 and leave her a big fat fucking neg.

Original/genuine. Potatoes/potartoes.

Let's face it, if I reported her bootleg backside, eBay would find in my favour. I don't think they'd be agonising over the fact it didn't say the actual "genuine" word, do you? If you're selling fake, you're going dahn. That's how it works.

I'm starting to think that annabel is the seller of the AIDS-y eyeliner.

Ring 999. They will be all on this like..I want to say White on rice but I think it might be a)racist in some way or b)something about cooking I can't possibly understand.

They'll be all over this like... And now I want to make some really off colour joke about secret hideouts and royal weddings.

I hate you buppy. You make me say bad things.

wandawings · 05/05/2011 20:35

Fabbychic - only if she opens up a ebay dispute. If she does it through paypal then it is up to the seller to prove it's real.

Why does everyone keep going "it's only 4.20 ffs" like I've been acting like I had to re-mortgage my house to buy the eyeliner? I said in my OP "princely sum of £4.20"

It's the principle. Do you have no principles? You're like gutterdogs the lot of you.

I quite liked my overly-dramatic thread title :(

Nope, not me,never touched flea-bay with a bargepole. But I do think original and genuine mean different things. Although you are far superior to little old me on the semantics issue

TrinityRhino · 05/05/2011 20:39

'jade goodys mum is my style icon'

.......I have had much wine

personally I would sod the money and leave some cutting feedback

but then I get a bit(ch) arsey about ebay wankers

DameShirleyKnot · 05/05/2011 20:39

In it chick? What the actual fuck is the matter with her? Eyeliner. Off. eBay.
