feedback extortion.

420 replies

sixlostmonkeys · 16/01/2013 19:44

I reported a buyer for feedback extortion.

I've received this back from ebay CS

"I gathered from your email that the buyer has threatened to leave negative feedback on your account if you will not send them money.

We've looked into the situation again and can see that this isn't a case of feedback extortion"

Was it the same people that you took pictures of the other day?

DoingTheSwanThing · 03/07/2013 19:09

WTAF?!?! There must be some appeals process?

What do you want to do? If you just want it all over with I'll send PP too... Or you can fight and we can get a protest movement going.

TheseGoToEleven · 03/07/2013 19:12

Just joining now having read this this morning and anxiously awaited the outcome all day. I would happily PP as well! What a joke...

Pantone363 · 03/07/2013 19:13

WTAF....WTAF!!!!! Can you appeal? My god I think I'd rather go to prison than pay these nutters a bloody penny. What justice is this? What does it show your son?

The judge sounds like a twat

mpac298 · 03/07/2013 19:13

Yes, I am in, either PP or a protest movement of whatever you want to help. I am sure you are sick of fighting this, so we can help you as you want.

fergoose · 03/07/2013 19:14

I will gladly contribute too

Pantone363 · 03/07/2013 19:14

If you do decide to pay please do it in pennies.

Or PayPal her a penny everyday

I cannot believe this. Yes- I would contribute too... and what a joke of a judge. Ask for an appeal- and someone who knows ebay this time! Say that the case was unfair as the judge hadn't read your papers.

Will you get a CCJ for not paying?

FannyFifer · 03/07/2013 19:16

OMFG, I have honestly never heard the like of this at all.
I really don't know what to say.

Fluffycloudland77 · 03/07/2013 19:17

You should go to the press, the dm love a looney judge story.

I really can't believe they won.

fergoose · 03/07/2013 19:18

so how are you meant to be dangerous?

And how is this person a judge when they don't know what they are on about - it is utterly ludicrous and so very wrong. I dunno whether to laugh or cry, it is just so awful.

GiveMumABreak · 03/07/2013 19:22

Also happy to PP a fiver - if you want to just get this over with!

Bloody nutters - you need to put this behind u now!

Sorry six

Enjoy your baileys (hic!)

ButchCassidy · 03/07/2013 19:23

Outrageous :-(

Trazzletoes · 03/07/2013 19:23

Bloody hell six I am completely stunned!!!

If I were you, I would also seriously think about complaining to the court itself that they lost your papers 3 times and that this adversely affected your case as the Judge did not have the opportunity to read your papers beforehand.

In my experience (which can't be proven, of course) that will not have helped you at all. A complaint should not affect any appeal or any other dealings with the court. It is ridiculous that your papers were lost so many times.

HoneyDragon · 03/07/2013 19:24

So the judge lost your paperwork and based his findings on what his mates said rather than eBay and paypal protocol?

What a fucking farce. So, so Angry on your behalf.

Fuck it, if it comes to it, I'm happy to bung a couple of quid toward the £49.00 charges .... FFS no one should be a victim of such muppetry.

intarsia · 03/07/2013 19:29

Is there anyone legal on here who can advise you? How is it possible that a judge is able to make such ludicrous decisions based on faulty knowledge?
It's good you have a recording. Are judges actually regulated by anyone to whom you can put in a formal complaint? Perhaps you could send them a transcript of the hearing along with a point by point breakdown of the mistakes?

RoooneyMara · 03/07/2013 19:30

It sounds like he thought YOU were the complainant? (if that is the right word)

I'm shocked that this has happened, it really is completely farcical.

mind you I have encountered very unfair situations before so it is somehow not THAT surprising, just that really, what the hell can you even do about it when this happens?

Mind boggling. Have a Brew from me my darling

Afrodizzywonders · 03/07/2013 19:33

There must be a mumsnetter out there with legal knowledge who can step up and help here. This is a fucking travesty!

intarsia · 03/07/2013 19:34

Ok I found this
Not sure if it's the right person to complain to.

Now you've done it! Offering to help me pay?....well the tears had to come at some stage I guess :)

It won't put an end to it though. They intend taking things further with regard to me being dangerous. Lordy knows what court summons will arrive through my letterbox next!

heh, my ds has just walked out of the room telling me he is going to start typing the transcript but while he is gone I have to promise not to murder anymore people in Preston Grin

before we went into the chambers, I turned around and saw Smith glaring at me. He had pure hate in his eyes. Throughout the hearing he did nothing but attack me (in a real threatening way) about things that were lies and irrelevant. That man hates me HATES me.
I reckon i am the first woman who has stood up to him (via email) and therefore he hates me. Fruitloop didn't want to there. It was obvious. I reckon (as some here have already said) he is behind all this and he has forced fruitloop into this; making her sign the cheques for each stage etc. She looked dreadful by the end of it. It wouldn't surprise me if he is not battering her right now :(

OMG that is ridiculous!

I'm also happy to chip in a few quid if you just want rid of these loons! What a nightmare, completely disgraceful!

You have earned the Baileys!

TidyDancer · 03/07/2013 19:42

Omg. Total farce then.

Wtf is wrong with the courts in this country?!

WeAreEternal · 03/07/2013 19:42

You can and should appeal the judgement on the grounds that, 1, the judge did not have your papers and had therefor not read any of your evidence or defence, which could have biased him towards the plaintiffs, 2, the judge did not know eBay/PayPal policy and therefor was incorrect to make a judgement based on personal options (or those of his friend) about how eBay policy should be.

It has crossed my mind to go to the courts tomorrow and ask if my papers had been passed to the judge - to try and obtain proof that he hadn't seen them.
I can pay for the official transcript and so this should indicate that he didn't have them. I need to sleep on this and make decisions in the morning.
