here's the story, finally decide to purchase a helmet (shoei X-11 vermeulen2 TC-5) on ebay, I would have gone through a regular vendor but this helmet is now discontinued and no longer in stock at any of the stores I contacted at least not is a XS. so I researched the helmet and vendor, great he's got ten in stock in size S. I emailed he and asked if he had any XS, he replied no and that the item was discontinued. I figured, ah well he's got ten in stock according to the link on ebay. so I click purchase and wait. five business days go by and nothing, nada zip. I contact him again via email asking if he shipped my helmet and if not to please refund my money if he really doesn't have any in stock. and he replies, no I don't would you like another helmet. I replied back no I want a immediate refund. 24 hours go by at this point I set up a dispute with paypal just to be safe and make sure this doesn't get real bad. 12 hours later whammo, all of a sudden he's my friend. I finally get my money back.(Thank God! I purchased with a credit card and had them on the phone getting ready to dispute the charge when he replied).
okay things are looking up. I check ebay and the helmet is still listed F/S except now he has 13 in stock?!?! WTF!!!
at this point I put a negative response to my non purchase stating "seller sold item not in stock. buyer had to make contact with seller for info."
I then get a email from him stating I was wrong for doing so. he then goes on about I don't know how ebay works..... blah, blah, blah... something about he's got a family and kids.. blah, blah blah.... and tells me he's going to have to pay $30 to get this cleaned up.
here's a link to his page and what I wrote, you can click on the helmet he doesn't have for sale.
if you go to the ebay motobikes store link, he still has this helmet for sale but now has 13?!!! I already submited a fraudulent listing claim to ebay.

was I wrong for posting a negative response? I told the truth and was not slanderous.
