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.

Whip, I actually do love you.

Fabby, just do the necksnake.

TrinityRhino · 05/05/2011 21:01

I wonder if she would get it if you end your email with [necksnake]

TrinityRhino · 05/05/2011 21:01

I don't think that's the case Fabby. I've never had to provide any proof for an item not as described when claiming through Paypal.

Tea hee

See, I did actually write "shoppe" at first. I hesitated for a couple of seconds and couldn't stop myself from tapping backspace a couple of times. I just couldn't leave it like that.

JeremyKylesPetProject · 05/05/2011 21:09

Just from Bupcakes user name I'm getting a Brian Badonde vibe. Bexbuse Be Bis Bis Bindian Bhiskey? :o

FabbyChic · 05/05/2011 21:09

You have to provide proof an item is countefeit, this item is countefeit.

I am correct! eBay however will give you a £5.00 voucher too after the dispute is closed to spend on what you like!

WhipMeIndiana · 05/05/2011 21:17

Dame shirley is a menace with that necksnake

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 05/05/2011 21:18

Whip, tell your DH that I am a Nun and am giving his details to Him. No heavenly delights for that mucky pup

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 05/05/2011 21:19

You can't expect Royalty to be able to necksnake. You need to be from the Hood.

DameShirleyKnot · 05/05/2011 21:19

So they say Whip, so they say.

WhipMeIndiana · 05/05/2011 21:20

WhipMeIndiana · 05/05/2011 21:21

my natural mouth shape during necksnaking is not a catsbummouth, more a flat front pursing?

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 05/05/2011 21:21

I draw the line at tongues. I mean, tongues
