EBAY also deletes negative feedback with no trace (Score 1)

I live in Minnesota and purchased for a friend a silver plated candelabra for about 56$ and change from the UK from seller bartlett01 email: [e-mail]. The candelabra arrived broken. I requested a refund and the seller started stalling on the other side suggesting I take it up with the UK post office.

I left negative feedback and was ready to chalk up the experience to an unfortunate run in with a crooked seller. Then about a month later was informed by Ebay that the feedback had been summarily removed. What transpired I found out (through many emails and phone calls to ebay) was that the seller had her husband who was an attorney file a notice of defamation with Ebay. Basically this is a certified piece of paper that basically states that the person finds the feedback statement defamatory in nature. On the grounds of this piece of paper, Ebay immediately removes the negative feedback, leaving no trace whatsoever that anyone had a problem with the seller.

Makes you wonder doesn't it? Basically I got shafted by Ebay and the seller. So did anyone else who purchased stuff from this seller on the basis of a total absence of negative feedback. I never received the refund either. Lousy thieving seller.
