scumbag, part deux

If you remember my earlier post about my terrible experience on EBay, you'll be interested to see this little gem I got today:

Your fuckin cheque was returned "unpaid" asshole. I suggest you send me another cheque asap or I will just put you on the back burner and have YOU dealt with extremely easily. Dont fucxk with strangersx assxhole, you are liable to get burned.
Wow. The bad spelling is not mine. How do you think I would be "dealt with"? Since when is "dealing with" anyone extremely easy? Is there a new EBay mafia? Somebody watched way too many episodes of the Sopranos. My response:
Dear Auctioneer,

Threats are not necessary.

I still have not received the necklace. I noticed that you received quite a bit of negative feedback on EBay and your EBay account was terminated. Naturally, I cancelled the check due to a lack of confidence in YOU. It has been over 1 month since I have won this auction, and I still have no merchandise.

When (if?) I get the necklace I will promptly send it back to you.

Sorry it has come to this.

This is starting to get really interesting.

If you want, you can drop me your ebay id and I will post feedback like "this guy beats the crap out of people LA-cop style if they dont send him his merchandise"

Unfortunately the scumbag is now listed by EBay as "No longer a registered user" which sucks because you can't leave him shitty feedback.

Oh well.

I did send a copy of his love note to the EBay police. Not that they can do anything, but it did make me feel good for about 4 seconds.
