I Am SO Annoyed

Ugh. I frequently browse ebay, and occasionally will purchase something if I think it's a good deal. So, a few weeks ago, won an auction for a book. Paid the day I won it. 2-day shipping was promised in the auction, which is why I bought the book from ebay as opposed to Amazon or something - it would get here faster, and I/we needed it fast.
Almost 2 weeks go by, and nothing...no communication from the seller (despite 3 emails). I go and re-read the seller's feedback and he/she has quite a few negative feedbacks...mostly in regards to not shipping in the time promised, and poor communication. I email seller again, asking, "Must I file a complaint in order for you to respond?" FINALLY, the seller emails back (oh! surprise, surprise!) and says, Sorry - shipping it next day air that day. All in all, the book came 10 business days late. I was annoyed. I paid for 2 day shipping -seller didn't offer to refund shipping or anything....so...I left Negative Feedback.
Then I see that he/she left THIS negative comment in MY feedback: "Unbelievably rude and ununderstanding. Tried to make nice left Negative FB"

I am SO unbelievably annoyed by this. I paid the day the auction ended, via paypal, and THEY have the nay-nays to leave ME the negative feedback because they didn't deliver on their shipping?? Seriously? Seriously!
And since I don't ebay all *that* often, it lowers my "score" and makes me look bad. Grrrr.

Ugh.

Stupid people suck.

You can further complain if you want, but unfortunately, these kinds of nuts will be allowed on ebay. They are annoying as all get out...I know... I take the common stance, though, that people with feedback of human temperature (98.6) or better, are not butt-kissers and should NOT be messed around with, as opposed to 100 percenters who are likely just push-overs.

I would reply to the neg she left you...(I think you can still do that...check the site map for reply to feedback) anybody with an ounce of sense will see that you are right and she's a nut.

I happen to make it a little hobby of reading people's feedback...it's incredibly voyeuristic of me, but also super fun, especially when you find the hilarious ones like...

"A very rapid and pleasant transaction."

I'll have whatever they were having, please.

When we bought the SUPID CAR we paid right on time and all that crap. He chared the credit card and everything quite a few weeks before he shipped it to us... so duh, Daniel left neg. feedback. Then the guy left neg. feedback on Daniel saying he doesnt pay on time and he was a disgrace to ebay users. HA.

Ebay isnt my favorite either.
