Virtually all her other feedback is for selling shoes.

Chances are, she was selling for someone else who decided it went too cheap
and refused to sell it.

Despicable behavior, but she's probably in a trick bag.

Didnt see any other nail guns either did you?

Got an email back tonight.....fascinating

First email from them....


"i am so sorry i had a single shot stud gun for sale last week and
apparently shipped him your gun by mistake, he has received the gun
but will not respond to my emails. i am going to refund your money
today and if he returns the gun i will email you and the ship it
priority mail for free. sorry for the delay but i was hoping to get
back and get it to you. thanks dee"

My response


"Damnit. Sigh..I really wanted that gun too. Hang on to the money for
another week or so, and maybe the clown will finally respond. What was
the other gun you had for sale? I assume you still have it? Perhaps I
could use it. Doesnt bother me if its single shot or not, as long as
it has a trigger."

Then I went digging for that other nail gun on their completed
auctions...didnt find it..got to pondering it.....

I sent a second email the next day....

"Im wondering if you got my email about the nail gun that you didnt
ship to the other fellow. Oddly enough...I checked your finished
auctions and didnt find any nail guns sold in the last 30 days as you
claimed. So either you are using more than one seller account, or are
blowing smoke. As I indicated, if you cannot get the nail gun I won,
back, Id be interested in the one you didnt ship by mistake. If there
really isnt another nail gun, and you lied to me, expect some
seriously negative feedback and a complaint to Ebay for
non-performance. Id really hate to think that you figured it sold too
low, so decided to send the payment back and sell it elsewhere. Now
you have great feedback, so I doubt if you are that sort of person. On
the other hand..its happened twice to me before on ebay. I saw the
"lost" item show up 6 months later, from the same seller in one case.
Im just a good ol boy, with great feedback myself, and quite
reasonable. Ill be waiting for your response with interest."

Their response tonight after a 3 day delay....

"HONESTLY GOOD OLD BOYS MUST BE DIFFERENT WHERE YOUR FROM, I CONSIDER
MYSELF 1 AND IDE REALIZE I WASNT OUT A DIME. I APOLOGIZED FOR THE
MISTAKE AND YES I HAVE 3 DAUGHTERS IN COLLEGE WITH ACCOUNTS TO MAKE
SOME SPENDING MONEY. I WOULD ASSUME THE OTHER PERSON TO BE HONEST AND
NOT LIE OVER A STINKING $20. TO SEND THIS SINGLE SHOT TO YOU IN PLACE
OF THE NEW GUN YOU PURCHASED WOULD BE A RIP OFF. THEN TO THREATEN MY
FEEDBACK WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE NO DAMAGES SEEMS PETTY. LEAVE THE
FEEDBACK THAT YOU CAN LIVE WITH AS WILL I. I IMAGEN YOU WILL LOOK AT
YOUS LONGER THAN MY DAUGHTER."
*******
My response tonight....

"Finally..a response. I was wondering. Now what was that single shot
stud gun?
As I indicated...with your high feedback, I didnt think yall were that
sort of people. However..as I also said..its happened twice already
with other people with equally high feedback. So when I DIDNT see any
other stud gun in your completed auctions...shrug..can you blame me
for thinking such a nasty thing was possible..not that it had
happened..but possible? Now you realize Ive not yet left any feedback?
If I was convinced yall had played funny...any doubt Id have would
have? Its called "benefit of the doubt" at least so far.

Now what was that other stud gun you sold? Still dont see it on your
completed sales list. Shrug..I might be interested. Btw....Im self
employed..so really do appreciate people trying to make a buck, rather
than than whining. Good for you for doing the Ebay thing!"
