Sorry I have not responded to you sooner. I did receive your payment. This

Thanks,

While I was out Friday night, my dogs decided to knock the castle off and make a
meal of the case as well as several pieces of the castle itself. Thus, I will
not be sending the castle to you. I have refunded your payment via PayPal.
Please accept my apologies.
Thanks,

Would you be so kind as to email me a photograph of the damaged set? Absent some
kind of documentation I think I shall have to leave you negative feedback and
document our transaction for others.
That was a good price for that set and I REALLY wanted it. A deal is a deal.
Thanks.

Well, the case was chewed up pretty badly and covered in blood from my dogs’
mouths and the instructions were shredded all over my office, so I threw those
out. There are several small pieces that are just plain missing... I would
assume that they ended up inside my dogs. I’d be more than happy to take a
picture of the pile of pieces and send it to you if you would like.

Yes, that would be useful for me. I’d like to see something that proves your
story to me. Absent that, I have to assume that you are simply backing out of
the deal. I am sorry if my request seems ghoulish. I think if you were me you
would also require some proof that the set was damaged. It’s not fair to me
that you should expect otherwise.
That set can go for as little as $3-4 (at least once before) or for as much as
$100+, it just depends on the day. And what can I say -- “my dog ate it” is a
suspiciously common enough excuse that I have to wonder about the veracity of
your story.
The reality is that you are breaking our auction contract -- no matter what --
you owe me for that. I am willing to ignore that fact if you can prove to me
that you are telling the truth. In other words, I would easily be within my
rights as buyer to give you negative feedback already, but I won’t add insult to
injury if you can prove that you are actually being honest with me. Giving you
negative feedback for an accident of life (i.e. “my dog ate it”), would be
unfair of me -- not from an eBay technical standpoint, but from my own personal
viewpooint as an empathetic human being. As it stands I intend to give you
negative feedback, I am giving you a way out if you can prove your story to me.
You had a fiduciary responsibility for property already belonging to me because
of our eBay auction contract. You had already received the money for the set and
shipping and handling besides. Then you let my stuff get damaged in the
meanwhile. Now you have refunded the money (and for which I thank you) and
claimed a somewhat suspicious story as your reason. If the story is true I am
deeply sorry for your troubles. But for the sake of myself and other eBay buyers
I must ask that you prove your story or leave you negative feedback. I can just
give you negative feedback now and we can forget about it if you like.
