I still had the item in hand, so it was no issue. He then asked via ebay what the lowest amount was that I would take on another item. Sensing impending problems, I immediately blocked him, again with no reply, and he responded by giving me a negative: "WARNING- WARNING-blocked me because his description wasn't accurate!!!"
I called ebay and they immediately removed it (or are doing so now). Because he asked me to cancel the transaction prior to receiving the item, ebay said he had no right to give negative feedback regarding the description.

LOL. I love those guys. They exist on Ebay AND at the very few memorabilia shows I set up at.
"Your item sucks, I hate your item..........ummmm what's the lowest you would take for it?"
I even had one guy lowball me at a show on an item, I told him to take a hike, and then about 6 months later, he ended up paying me twice as much on Ebay, what I originally offered the item to him for at the show.
Then he told me again, how much my item sucked, and that it wasn't what he was expecting, what could I give him to make him happy? I told him to return it for a full refund or take a hike again......and I never heard from him again............until I saw an article in a trade publication he wrote, about the very same item I sold him, and what a great, wonderful, historic item it is, and must be.
