Sometimes Roland, they (sellers) will enter into intimidation or bullying tactics to try to save their rating.....though for me that only makes matters worse. He is probably wanting to put up a case for anyone who checks his rating that you are a scammer and that he is entirely innocent. Whenever I read those rebuttals, I am thinking that all the customer wanted was their item. There probably are scammers out there, but most of the time the buyers are lawful people who are legitimately bidding on an item because they need it. He is just trying to save face to his future customers and blame someone else but himself. Intimidation never works on me and to the sensible reviewer, he will be bypassed on any future purchase.

Sometimes, I wonder if some people are fencing stolen items on Ebay or CL. I purchased a DVD collection once and never received it. Opened a claim and Ebay could not reach the seller. Because I used Paypal, my full purchase price was refunded. Call me a skeptic, but I became suspicious that the items were hot and the seller was keeping time at the county hotel, therefore unable to be reached.

I have also had people send me "extras" that were greatly appreciated through my purchase on Ebay, so there are good people out there, as well. Just like we have had mostly good members on this forum, but there have also been some real ringers on occasion. Use caution, but certainly don't judge all of them by a couple of bad meatballs.....Glad things worked out best in your case.
