edge, but sometimes it's still a surprise when you trip over one.<br>
<br>
The Case of the Morning Greetings<br>
<br>
Imagine, if you will, an innocent eBay buyer with a very stellar
name ordering an item from an eBay store. He waits and waits,
then receives a message that the item was canceled by the seller.<br>
<br>
Checking the item listing, it's been removed by the seller.<br>
<br>
Hmmmph.<br>
<br>
Buyer leaves negative feedback stating the item was not received,
order canceled by seller.<br>
<br>
This, my friends, should be the end of the tail. But as with many
tails, the tip is longer than expected.<br>
<br>
Next arrives a string of increasingly obscene threats from the
store owner that since this stellar buyer also happens to have a
store he'll have friends order things only to return them and
leave negative feedback.<br>
<br>
Messages reported to eBay which takes a dim view of threats and
attacks on other members. They described the language as
"lovely", especially the all caps one.<br>
<br>
So, lets hope this particular store owner renews his meds, or
takes a trip to a tropical island, finds a girlfriend, or
something.<br>
<br>
The end.<br>
<br>
or is it?<br>
