feedback extortion.

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"

The 'unwell and dangerous' thing - I imagine court cases involve a lot of stuff being alleged that is clearly nonsense and has no evidence to accompany it, so I'd expect the court officials to treat that with the derision it deserves.

I really don't understand how they're claiming you're unstable.

Does she have a history of doing this kind of thing?

ScrambledSmegs · 16/05/2013 11:01

I think the question is, do you really want to go into court against these irrational people without us there to support you?

Sunnywithshowers · 16/05/2013 11:50

If the case is near me I'd be happy to come along for moral support.

John Smith sounds hateful :(

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/05/2013 14:49

The judges we had were very good at seeing through the other sides bullshit. Also if he starts to talk down to the judge that won't go down well.

IHateSafeStyle · 16/05/2013 14:50

I was going to say are you sure she exists?

I'm sure any of us would be happy to be there to support you and not leave you to face them alone.

Flibbertyjibbet · 16/05/2013 15:02

Can you give us a clue to the general region then can can fight over decide who comes with you for entertainment support.

We will need someone with a hidden camera good steady temperament.

I've got a pile of stuff to list on ebay today - but I'm decidedly put off it now Shock

lljkk · 16/05/2013 15:16

On the day you'll get a whole gaggle of supporters at this rate, 6lost, ready to take you to pub for commiserations or celebrations afterwards.

BumpAndGrind · 16/05/2013 15:46

Ms Fruitloop sounds like my nextdoor neighbour.

ArabellaBeaumaris · 16/05/2013 19:24

Shameless place marking!

Caitycat · 16/05/2013 20:28

What a lunatic, if they get anywhere with this case I will seriously doubt the British justice system!

NotEnoughJamOnTheBread · 16/05/2013 20:49

I'm transfixed by this. Place well and truly marked. Good luck to you Six

Yes OP, try to keep schtum (I too am prone to sarcasm and had to refrain, deffo worth it to hear how crazy they can be - let them dig themselves more of a pit!).
On a more personal note; please don't focus on them calling you dangerous etc. It is meant to wind you up and get you upset and wanting to bit back. Ex's dad wrote a very horrible letter to the Court stating I had mental issues (he has never even met me!). The whole idea was to get me angry in some way and retaliate. They are clutching at straws. I think you sound like it is all fine, but I know first hand how the those little words can keep you up at night. I felt I may have to defend myself all through the case but the Judge could clearly see what he was about. They must have people like this use the system all of the time. Try to put it all to one side once all of the paper work is done and forget it; you will wonder why it was such a big deal afterwards :)

Lioninthesun · 16/05/2013 21:18

*bite not bit!

Gingefringe · 17/05/2013 08:20

Once this is sorted eBay will seriously need to reconsider their practices - If I read this right they don't seem to see a problem with her demanding money off you even though you refunded her in full? Now that's a novel way to make a living!
Good luck to you. You sound lovely.

Flibbertyjibbet · 17/05/2013 10:13

marking place as I won't be online for several days and don't want this gripper to drop out of my active convos!

ButchCassidy · 18/05/2013 13:15

Good Luck!! Rooting for u :)

nancerama · 20/05/2013 12:39

I can't believe this is still going on. John Smith and Mrs Fruitloop sound like my old neighbours. I was wondering where they'd gone.

I have everything crossed for a positive outcome for you, but what a lot of stress and upset for you OP. it's shameful that eBay and the legal system has allowed this to get so far.

DameFanny · 21/05/2013 20:01

Puffination.

There. Now I can find the update next month without wading through the whole topic. Grin

janey223 · 21/05/2013 20:33

This is bonkers! How could I have missed it? Good luck op!

whoopwhoopbib · 21/05/2013 22:54

Wow I can't believe that there is someone out there who honestly believes that they have a case to take to court Shock .

Op you sound amazingly strong and I can't wait for the update on what Mrs Fruitloop is actually like in person Grin

halestone · 22/05/2013 01:37

Good luck OP i hope common sense prevails Thanks
