my item is not expensive, BUT i feel that i have been unfairly treated by the seller. (im autistic - althought that should make no difference). the seller has a mulit listing of coins and an image of the best examples. some multi listing sellers have images of the exact coin you will receive. i asked this seller to send me an image of the exact coin and he replied: "sorry im afraid that not viable with an item costing 99p but thanks anyway" (quoted from his email). so when i did the review (in an honest and frank way) i said "wanted to see pic of actual coin, told it didint cost enough, take pot luck". the email i got back from the seller quite frankly upset me severly and frightened me "re: the recent damaging and untrue feedback left by yourself... your false statement needs to be removed.." which i duly did giving five stars all around and updating comment to "thanks". i now find that seller has banned me from buying anything more from him, probably a good thing, but even more annoying the coin i asked for was a 1914 and the coin i received is a 1918 and now i am too scared to even ask for the refund in case i get even more abusive emails and worry that he might ban me from the whole coin collecting section of ebay. my ignornace, i dont really know just how much power these people have. i have brought 81 coins and not had any trouble from 80 differnt sellers. i also note this seller has asked 98 people to amend their reviews so he can maintain his 56874* rating. i feel i want to make ebay aware of this, after all coin collecting is a nerd kinda thing so more autistic people must be out there doing the same thing. is there a way to make ebay aware of this? preferably without getting myself banned from coin collecting in the process. thanks for reading all that detail.
