Thanks...that does make me feel better. The douche had no problem with the Gilliam and Black cards, but he negged me on those anyway. Speaks to his character I guess.

I'm thinking if I decide to invest 30 minutes today trying to get eBay to reverese the negatives, then the fact that he gave negatives to those two auctions would help my case?

Despite winning the very public Tyfanny Vs Ebay case, the lawsuit profondly changed Ebay's policy towards their ultimate customer, the buyer. The publicity generated from Tyfanny Co. buying 200 Tyfanny brand listings on Ebay and finding that 198 were fakes threatened to erode the Ebay empire.
With so many sellers on this site, I'm sure it will be an unpopular stance, but I firmly believe that Ebay's adopting "the customer is always right" approach is working out best for all involved, in the long run. All this is not to say the buyer wasn't a douche.

I agree with you.......the policy probably helps alot more people than it hurts, and the buyer is a douche.

The verdict in the Carterscards thread on the homepage forum (assuming it is true) gives me hope of about a 5% chance of having my negatives reveresed if I decide to invest 30 minutes on the phone!
