That's pretty much what was going on with me too. I said that I was very disappointed with the turn of events and was going to leave feedback to that effect. That's when the threats started. She even let me know she had my phone number. Messages alternated between pathos and paranoia. She even accused me of taking advantage of her because she was a woman trying to run a business and I was a big male bully. Anyone who knows me would laugh out loud at that one. That was a cheap shot.
Anyway, the last message I sent was that I give up. The aggravation isn't worth any pipe. More nasty messages followed. I cancelled my account.
I'm trying to keep from venting more here. I'll call ebay in the morning....if she hasn't found me by then.
