I have received the email below in response to a question I asked about an item she is selling
Firstly, she basically said read the item description
I said thank you but I did and was still confused, so would like it to be clarified for me.
She was rude to me about that then told her not to bother me again, then got this just now. Basically taking offence at me asking a question, implying I am stupid and ignoring me saying not to bother me again.
I got this email just now after telling her not to bother me.
'I did no such thing i just said i wish people would read i make things clear and had already said this was the case only, if you can't see that and it was confusing then i answered your question'
Regards
She basically wants to be nasty - all I did was ask a question and getting a load of rudeness for it.
What should I do?

and let an ebayer get away with being rude?
What upset me is she ignored me when I told her not to bother me again.
The matter was closed for me yesterday but she is deciding to take her insanity out on me for asking a valid question out on me about an item she is selling.
Yes, you could get really nasty, give her negative feedback, whatever, if you really feel that would solve the situation, or make you feel better. Or you could rise above it, be the better person, forget it and move on.For all you know, this person's closest relative could have died and she's a complete mess. You haven't got the full picture. Just leave it. Not worth pursuing, especially as you haven't even bought the item.
I reckon it's the Olympics. In the absence of sporting ability, everyone just wants to win arguments instead. :cool:
Whoa - I told her not to bother me
Your wishes, sadly, have no legal standing. :cool:
I know it seems to be silly season on there
I have been ebaying for years and not come across the aggro I have seen and had in the last month!
Anyone professional would separate any aggro at home to their business life.

You have got 3 options
1.Continue this back & forth spatz with her (Although that wont solve anything)
2.Complain to ebay (Depends if they look into it or not)
3.Just get on with your life (This is your best bet)
And her email could have crossed over with your last one telling her that. They don't all arrive immediately you click send. And as I intimated I don't read that as nasty. Not even rude in fact. You're best off forgetting about it and ignoring her and anything she is selling in the future.
No I'm not feeding 'the troll' and it was over last night as far as I was concerned.
I told her not to bother me again last night
She is certainly on block, I thought it would block any communication as well, much like you can block anyone's messages on here when you block people.
I certainly don't want to see her unwanted emails anymore!
That seems to be the crux of this issue ..
I do think some people can be a bit precious sometimes and take offence at the slightest thing, but I certainly am not a fan of people being randomly abusive in response to perfectly legitimate questions.
Emails/the written word can cause all sorts of kerfuffle, because there is no inflection or body language to add to the mix. Is it possible that you came across as rude?
In any event, it's not worth stressing over.
Rude is an opinion - other posters seem to think she wasn't rude but I was offended by her replies to a question about an item.
If it makes me oversensitive then so be it, I am still offended by someone's reply - other posters on here get offended by things that don't bother me in the slightest so that makes them oversensitive? No - some things bother people that don't bother others - I don't think it is anyone's place to judge what is oversensitive or not.
What upset me this morning is I had moved on and she ignored my wishes to not be bothered about the matter anymore.
How is asking a question being rude?
Do so an so contain so an so?
She basically said read the description but something confused me and I said it did confuse me.
She went ballistic because I told her I was confused and could she clarify it.
Now that is oversensitive imo!
That got ignored - hopefully she will stop bothering me now. I haven't replied as there is nothing more to say.
I think I got the mad one and yes I have walked away
and what is it with you pouncing on their threads telling them how silly theyre being over and over in a righteous manner?
theres some irony here if you care to look. :cool:
Easy to see why a person could snap with such a writing style as the OPs.
From the email, you consider rude, and presumably contained within the description:
"i make things clear and had already said this was the case only"
Why would you think the case contained anything when it is stated clearly it was the case ONLY?
Perhaps there was no need to be rude to your initial email, but as you chose not to quote that response, we only have your word that it was rude.
