Oh and he left me an e-mail
Wow, you have way to much time on your hands to worry about that ratchet, you should really get a life. I do just resell tools and don’t test any of them, the money really means nothing to me as I am a physician in southwest Missouri where evidently everyone screws everyone here – that is according to your forum. This is just a hobby for me. Making mid 6 figures is plenty of money I just love tools especially snap on. So check your feedback, sellers like to see what kind of feedback new ebayers have, therefore I have allowed them the pleasure of seeing how you handle transactions. If you remove your negative you left me I will give you the 10.00 credit towards future purchases. No biggie your choice. Sincerely Bryan
This guy is sick, and definitely has an inferiority complex of some form. If he doesn't test the tools, he needs to clearly state that in his auctions!
If the money didn't really matter to him because he was already wealthy, he wouldn't have argued over simply refunding the $20, as a result of HIS negligence!
And his feedback comment is silly. If you bid in the last few seconds of the auction (either manually or by snipe software), which will give you a better chance of winning anyway, the seller cannot cancel your bid, and unless you don't complete a transaction with them, they should have no reason to care what your feedback is.
This whole thing comes down to taking responsibility, and showing respect, something that spaz-stingwray doesn't seem to understand. Its not so much the money, its his awful attitude.
