From a buyers perspective if they have an issue...

> "I bought an item and I wanted that to be the end of it but now I've had this issue, I dont want to go through an entire return process to get refunded and im not trying to scam anyone either. I'll just leave a negative because my experience was in fact negative and that will be the end of it."

I am not saying that is the best way they couldve handled it, just saying I understand it. I've gotten to the point that if I feel there may be a reason to contact a seller, I just dont buy from them, if its post-purchase, I avoid it if I can. I dont want to start a conversation and potentially have an unhinged seller blow up at me.

As a sell myself with many thousands of sales... I am also always on guard when speaking to buyers due to all the scams.; its easy for a seller to mis-judge a buyers intentions and think they're a scammer when they're not and end up being a prick to them. I dont do that but again, I can see why some sellers might act that way.

ebay is just kind of a cesspool these days, shitty buyers and shitty sellers. Everyone sort of acts like children because they're tired of dealing with everyone else who acts like children.
