thanks for the reply. maybe i'm being paranoid but i feel this guy has it in for me - is there any point in contacting ebay and seeing if i can have the feedback removed. it just strikes me as weird as you wouldn't accept a refund to get your money back and then bid on another item of mine
Personally I'd say that you should definitely contact eBay and see if you can get the negative feedback removed. You only get a limited amount of time to do so, so if you haven't done so by the time you read this reply get in touch with eBay Customer Services now and put your case across as to why you feel that the buyer's negative feedback should be removed. If you don't get in contact with eBay Customer Services quickly enough then you'll be stuck with that negative feedback forever, whereas if you get in contact with them before the cut-off point and the eBay rep you are speaking to agrees that the buyer's feedback ought to be removed then the negative feedback will be removed from your account, as will the associated defect. If that does indeed turn out to be the end result then nothing that the buyer has done or said will end up having a lasting negative effect on your account.
