Bad experience on ebay............upset

[mumfor1sttime]

I bought some goods off ebay (baby clothes job-lot). I won the item at the starting price 99p - postage being £8.
I paid instantly, and a while later he emailed me to say he'd miscalculated the cost of postage and wanted an extra £2.49. Fair enough, sometimes it happens and I paid. Ebay's policy being that if postage is more than stated you can ask for the extra cost.
Picked the package up from the post office today and the postage was £7.20 so surely was within the original £8 agreed postage. We thought this was a bit cheeky but everyone tries to make a bit of profit on postage (admittedly not so blatently) so I let it go - after all I only paid 99p for a big bag of baby clothes and shoes that were advertised as Next, Mothercare, Boots etc along with some brand new sandles.
I opened up the package, there were no Next items of clothes and no sandles (one of the main reasons I bid on the whole lot), and the other clothes were not too sharp, but its the risk you take on ebay.
I decided to give him bad feedback because of the misleading description and lack of shoes. I didn't mention the extra money unnecassarily asked for.
He emailed me before leaving his feedback calling me an 'evil nasty' woman.
A bit over the top I think, considering I was merely stating facts!
I sent him an email explaining the bad feedback and the fact that we had not mentioned his extra little money making scheme with the postage.

He left his feedback - something along the lines of 'Nasty evil woman what more does she want? She got £100 of clothes for 99p'
I'd say that if the clothes were new (back in 1986 when they look like they were bought) they'd be worth £10-£15 tops! Maybe more if they had all the items listed in his description!
Ive been talking to him all day and he's been getting more and more abusive and putting all the blame on me and Im getting a bit upset about it.

Wondered if anyone else had had any similar experiences?

Whatever you do don't buy anything from mrbootman

To avoid a retaliatory neg it always pays to wait until the last minute to leave negative feedback for someone - I think there's a 90 day limit. What a clown though ...... I recently sold a gorgeous bundle of top quality baby clothes for 99p - that's the whole point of an auction site! He should have set a reserve if he wasn't happy to let them go cheap.

I didn't know about the 90 day rule, does that mean that my buyers who have left no feedback are waiting to say something horrid?

huh! We bid £5 for a shrek2 dvd on ebay a few weeks ago. It said it was in it's cellaphane etc... when it arrived (very prompt next day delivery) it was a copy!!! and it skipped... my DD was distraught! We went onto leave him negative feedback and his rating had dropped from the day beofre 95%+ to almost 95%- he had sent out a job lot of copies.... and everyone was looking for him!! Ebay banned him and when we complained to them and paypal to get our money back we were told that as he had no funds in his paypal account we wouldn't be getting a refund but if ever there was money in his paypal account we would.. hmm not holding my breath here.

Fire fly that is really bad, bloody hell. I have just this minute reported him to ebay, so hopefully will get it resolved. Just makes me sooo mad!
