I'm in an eBay pickle...

[egbeachley]

Keep the block on going forward and keep the emails. When you get the neg, and you will, send the emails to Ebay saying you were trying to abide by their policies and were being harassed or blackmailed (maybe too strong a word but the emails should bear this out at least somewhat). Those are the instances when Ebay will side with the seller and remove a neg.

That being said, Assuming your feedback is over 300, it is pointless to avoid negs at all costs. At some point all sellers should get one and move on.

Good advice 'Eg'. I know it sounds silly to try and avoid all negs but I do feel even 1 no matter how unjustified could hurt raise an unnecessary red flag from future buyers...I decided to send the card and hope that the buyer was just popping off thru em's but at the end of the day won't leave a neg.

Let's say though that he leaves a negative but makes up another excuse for why he did so (Card was in lesser grade than described, etc.) do you think eBay would back me with the other EM evidence which is related to an entirely different situation?
