Here are some example of the idiot I'm dealing with from the email she is sending me:
GREETINGS: There's that NPB strike you left on our account, and the feedback thing is still open. We sent you money to reimburse the FVF but you refunded it. How do you want to handle this then, as we'd like to get your strike off our record. Pls. let me know soon as you get a good moment, ok? Thanx, Claire//Baddragonlady//
GREETINGS 911BMWFAN: You've got this unpaid item thing on us even though it was you who changed mind and relisted this radio set. We even courteously sent you $5 for the listing fee. After reading your 3 previous emails to us, since this strike is unjust and we're stuck w/ it for now, and since the feedback time limit runs out soon: basically if you refuse to be fair and help us get this mark removed from our account, this week by Thursday, we will give a feedback comment and rating we feel you deserve, fair enough? Sgd. //BADDRAGONLADY//
DEAR 911BMWFAN: I'm sure you will. We can do it that 2nd way too. Within ebay trading guidelines: [1]we communicated right away our intentions to pay 4 days after the 10 day period. [2]we offered to add a fair $5. late fee. [3] you confirmed this was all ok w/ an email reply. YOU jumped the gun. Why should we accept even neutral feeback since it was not us who welched on the deal [and got a 2nd lower price from your choice]. This strike will be removed when we send copies of your emails, including the one admitting you relisted cause you thought you were 'getting scammed'. So what are you punishing us for? your screw-up? I'm not a mean gal, but if you want to stay nasty and mess-up your 100% in order to pass the blame, fine. If you do remove the strike, we can end things cordially now, since I dislike giving [-] anything out to anybody. Be nice. Let us know what you want to do, ok? //BADDRAGONLADY//
Whatever. Lets do this: if that strike of yours is still on our account by 4Sep06, then you'll get your feedback rating from me. If you make it better b4 that then no bad blood. Clear enough? I won't stand being pushed around by some mean person who fusses about less than $100 because he's trading-skills challenged //BADDRAGONLADY//
These are what I left for her:
Leave me positive feedback and I'll remove your unpaid strike and at best I'll leave you a neutral. Otherwise do not continue to contact me. If you leave me negative feedback on an auction that you repeatedly failed to pay for within the obligatory time, I will leave the negative feedback along with keeping your unpaid strike. I've taken the higher road by not leaving any feedback. Receiving negative feedback from a member who has a long history of retailiation feedback and mutual withdrawals will not effect me.
To refresh your memory, I have also saved all communication: The Auction ended June 25th in which I immediately sent out an invoice. You did not respond until June 28th with this email:

Hello, I am ready to ship this item and would like to know what means of payment you are making and what delivery type you require. Please be aware that payment invoices have been generated and are requiring actions from you, the auction winner, to complete the transaction.
GREETINGS:
We'll have to paypal you right after the 4TH/July, when we get back from Asia. We could pay a couple $ addl. if that would make you happier, ok?
BEST REGARDS, CLAIRE//BADDRAGONLADY//
Guess what, That date came and went with no payment or reply. You did finally respond about paying at a later date:
GREETINGS 911BMWFAN: Perhaps you have'nt been [to the Philippines] and sent out fr. here personal info over the I/net. This is where many 'iloveyou' etc. trojan worm harvester viruses originate. Anyways, coming back to CA/USA WE12JUL so if you would be kind enough to wait few more days, we'll paypal you as we mentioned previously +$5.-, ok? REGARDS, CLAIRE//BADDRAGONLADY
Thank You.
This date came and went and still no payment and my Paypal account can prove this. I still waited this 17 days (eBay asked for 10 days) before relisting and asking for my listing fee to be removed. Your nonpaying bidder strike was also given after this. Jumping the gun, right? What exact proof are you going to show eBay? Your time to do this was when the nonpaying bidder dispute was under investigation anyway and the case is close. The only way it can be removed is by me.
Thank you,
eBay
