Dear Jackass Ebay Buyer

Some jackass just left me negative feedback on an item I sold him on Ebay because HE got confused and didn't know what the hell he was bidding on! Actually, to be more accurate, this jackass originally left me positive feedback and then a week later changed it to negative feedback stating..."Should have been more clear about product being sold." What the fuck??? Okay, here's exactly what my ad said, which was also accompanied by a very large and clear picture of the actual item:

You are bidding on one new Moleskine Squared Notebook (#8883707184) with a soft cover that is still sealed in its original plastic. Moleskine, the legendary notebook of Hemingway, Picasso, and Chatwin are the most desired notebooks in the world. This notebook features 192 squared pages, is 5" x 8.25" in size, made of acid-free paper, has an expandable inner pocket, a fabric bookmark, and an elastic strap to keep the notebook closed. These are super great notebooks that have millions of uses and can fit just about anywhere. Happy bidding!


How in the HELL is that unclear??? I have the exact dimensions, the exact number of pages, a very complete and accurate description of the item, and even included the SKU number which can easily be looked up to find out even more fascinating facts about this exact notebook. So again, what the fuck??? Should I have described how the touch of the cover was like soft velvety leather made from the skins of baby calves who were only fed organic wheat? Should I have noted that each delicate page of the notebook sounds like angels singing whenever turned, just like was heard by Hemingway and Picasso? Perhaps I should have mentioned that ten blind virgins delicately hand-stitched the binding while repeating the Lord's Prayer! Of course, I couldn't have done any of that since it was brand new and sealed in plastic! What in the hell does this guy want from me...it's a notebook for god's sake, not a priceless painting!!! My ad could have said...it's got pages and a cover...and that would have been a completely accurate description and no one would have been confused!!!

If you've ever sold anything on Ebay, you know how important positive feedback is to your success on that site. For someone to leave negative feedback without even trying to contact me first in order to give me the opportunity to make it right is like a suicide bomber going into a pet store and blowing up dozens of innocent and adorable puppies...it's just not done and it's just not right!

So, in the future, please make sure you only bid on an item that you actually want and that you fully understand the description or have looked very, very closely at the picture of said item. It's not my fault that you're too stupid to know what you're bidding on, so don't make me pay the price with a negative feedback score because you're an idiot!

Thank you.

Addendum: I made this guy feel like such a complete idiot for his obvious mistake in reading the ad properly that he actually changed his negative feedback to positive feedback! See, public humiliation works people! Oh, success, you are so sweet!!!
