Beware: Another E-Bay Scam Artist

It would seem you have 2 options.

If this were me, I would choose not to fuel his immature, unprofessional, and overly emotional outburst. I'd reply with basic, concise, language... ie:

Sir, please consider the order cancelled...etc.

or

Sir, please ship to this address the following items... etc... please confirm rect. of payment... etc.

Life's too short for that sort of crap.

I can't belive he had the nerve to call you childish and demand an apology. What is he gonna do if he doesn't get one, tell his mommy?

I can't believe that people like this stay in business.

Of course its a COMMON tactic with scam artists to attack in force when someone points out their scam. He doest protest too much. Sadly, its not uncommon in kilt related business'.

Hope there's a way you can cancel the sale. I learned the hard way about overseas shipping of kilt pins...have resolved to buy kiltpins ONLY in person at highland games.

And thank you for reminding me not to set up an ebay account. Get enough phishing spam from ebay and I'm not even signed up. Hope you did report this bird to the ebay honchos though.

Life is too short to have people like that in your life.

I have orderd though e-bay a number of times, but always look very carefully at the p&p rate. It is often so high, that it is just not worth paying such a price.
E-bay sellers often quote £15 - £20 for p&p. Parcels arriving here from other commercial or private sources in GB have stamps to the value of up to £10.
Whose pocket is being filled?
Once or twice, I have written to a seller to query the p&p amount (when I knew there was no other buyer) and got it cheaper.
