You can now continue as you were.

Sure is.

I remember hearing on the radio, about a guy that sent his alimony payment, which he wiped his ass with. She turned him into the authorities. Needless to say, he faced the possibility of up to 3 years imprisonment and $100,000 in fines.

I was always under the impression that if you leave negative feedback for someone, for a good reason, and then they leave you a negative just to be an ass, that you can get Ebay to wipe that one out for you?

It comes down to a "I say this, he says that". If you have proof you sent it (like delivery confirmation) then I think they take it away.

:lol:

In my ebay auctions, I offer insurance and have a disclaimer that if their item isn't insured, I'm not responsible for items lost in the mail. If they actually pay for insurance, though, I hardly ever actually insure the item when I ship it if the item is under $20. I figure I'm better off keeping that $1.30 each time, and giving a refund when it's required. I've sold over 1000 items on ebay doing this, only had to refund about 5 times.

There's no way in hell I would have insured an item selling for $4, even if they did pay for it. I don't really see this as dishonest, since they're paying for me to insure it instead of the post office. I know a lot of people swear by mandatory delivery confirmation and insurance, but I just haven't run into enough problems on ebay to warrant doing it.

But anyway IP, how long has this auction been over? I would seriously just tell her to wait a couple weeks. If you sent it first class or media mail, it could take awhile. Sometimes stuff just gets stuck somewhere. If it's been like a month, I'd go ahead and give her the refund. I wouldn't even leave negative feedback. It's never in your best interest to do it; only leave negative feedback if they've already left it for you. Giving negative feedback is a sure way to decrease your rating.

Ironplant: what is your ebay status? If you have like 100 or so (and it sounds like you might have, with "making so much money out of ebay"), then you have a pretty good case, as it is very unlikely that you are ripping her off for a 1 cent T-shirt deal.

She must suck to get so pissed off about something which costs so little that she has probably spent more on the electricity on her computer when emailing you offensive letters.

I would take it as a $4 lesson learned. Always cover your own ass with ebay auctions.

Trust me, this could have been a lot worse.
