Ebay gives me a whack on the hand

I got hosed by a con artist on ebay.
They sent me an email telling me
that my feedback broke some rules.

Below is their letter.

I think I personally have to agree with eBay that what you said in that
feedback was not right. I tend to get that way sometimes when leaving
feedback, but I've never went that far. I guess you just have to be careful
next time :-)

Does E-Bay have a complaint area or fax number so you can tell them what
happened?
If so you should send a 20-page fax--that'll get thier attention moreso than
some weenie customer feedback garbage. 10 to 20 page faxes containing legal
threats and the like works every time.
AFAIK they should be no different than any other web site--THEY are
responsible for the content. No one else.
They police the feedback so what does that tell you about thier liability?

"This crook licks the sweat off of a dead man's balls."

Well, you had it coming, as your statement was very likely a lie. You
should have stuck to saying something useful, such as "The $20 gold
piece you sold me was analyzed, and found to be made of lead."

The truth here is more useful than empty invective.

I think that ebay couldn't careless if
all buyers and sellers were a bunch of
psychopathic killers or fascist anarchists
(to quote Ferris Bueller), just as long
as they get their commission (!)
