He was pissed because he emailed me on the length of the clubs and I didn't respond right away. I sold the clubs to anther buyer and he tried to leave a bad feedback review. I emailed ebay with the emails he sent me. They kindly removed it and band him forever.
Who tried to leave a bad feedback review?? Only the winner of the auction can leave you feedback, and you say that you "sold them to someone else". This whole story is pretty unclear to me. Which brings me to an important point: The most important factor in ebay transactions is communication. Barring outright fraud, (which happens in a small # of cases unfortunately), asking the right questions will usually make things go smoothly. Sellers who will not or do not answer emails or car dealers whose auctions end on Sunday when they are closed drive me nuts. I have definitely been burned a little on a couple of vehicle purchases, (and had one fisting prevented by a good samaritan Pelicanhead who looked at a long distance purchase for me), but I still think that ebay can be great, believe it or not. I've bought smaller items that were 100% as represented.

I actually think that ebay is best for buying non-running cars or honest *****boxes, at least you know what you are getting.
