So sensitive when YOU are the one under the microscope! I note you did not show the same restraint with the other poster, who posted a warning from which many people on this list could be expected to benefit.
Being unable to pay the seller is completely different from simply backing out because you got "bad vibes," which is what you originally wrote in your little lecture. If you choose to be indignant because you misstated yourself, well, I guess that's your choice. Now think, think hard, I know it will be difficult for you to understand; people can only respond to what you post. BTW, even though the eBay feedback rant was somewhat of a non sequitur, feedback on eBay *does* list whether the member was the seller or buyer in the transaction in question.
