Ignore him and put him/her on your blocked buyers list.

Many people find it acceptable to use many such unacceptable words.


 


Recently there has been a text form of this unacceptable word showing up on the discussion boards.... unacceptable... but many do not know the meaning of this three letter combination


 


eBay has to wake up to the reality that no form of this word is acceptable on eBay.


 


When it comes to a potential buyer... with a comment or question expressed as indicated .....ignore them....block them


 


and if this is someone who already bought from you,  and then becomes obnoxious,  report that buyer to eBay

I find that completely unacceptable. If they had used it in a feedback comment, you could have complained. I don't think eBay would approve of this, even though it seems to be more and more acceptable for some people to use, it is certainly offensive to me and I am sure to a lot of other people.

If it was sent through the eBay Messages system, there should be a Report button available.


But your best bet is to Block the member both on eBay and, if you have his email address, on your personal email.

If you're wanting fairness and respect from the eBay community, you need to offer it yourself.  This part from the terms of sale from some of your listings is unacceptable and will just drive away the good buyers you're wanting:


 


For the international buyer: the item will be posted by Canada Post in International Surface in order to cut off the post fee. The period of post will be 6-8 weeks, and the item is not insuranced and traced. The Buyer should take the full responsibility for the damage and loss of the goods.


 


A good seller--whether on eBay or elsewhere--takes responsibility for his merchandise and its transport to the buyer.   Tracking and insurance is for your protection, not the buyers'.  If you don't like using small packet surface mail, don't use it.


 


All it takes is one eBay case or PayPal claim from an unhappy buyer to render those terms useless anyway.

That wording that you brought out marnotom, is also against eBay policy. Like it or not, the seller is responsible for the item until delivered.

I think in business the f word is a big no no but in life in general I think it is the most common used word and can be used in many different ways and in many cases makes a joke that much funnier... I use the word a lot at work and at home when the kids are not around but I would nev use it in public,around my kids or anywhere in my business... I take everything a lot more lightly then most though because I learnt through many issues in life from losing a kid to bankruptcy, to losing my many loved ones and an insane amount of tragedy in my short 30 years here that they are a lot better things to do with your time and efforts then worry about what people think or feel... The ones judging are usually the ones with nothing better to do and In many cases will attack what others say and do to make themselves feel like they are better then other because they don't swear,drink,or smoke etc. etc..... It is a no no but if someone wrote to me like that I wold not care 1 bit because at the end of the day it is just a word

I had a character like that from Spain. He ended up telling me, as translated, to get gay with his goat.

There was a film being done in Churchill the last month. They needed a Polar Bear cub. Didn't have one so they found a grizzly cub and painted it white.

you have a problem with the 'f' word?  you know that it just stands for Fornication Under Consent of the King?  It was used in medievel times when young couples would rent a room at an inn.   They would put a sign on the door and it was abbreviated eventually.  It's not a bad word.  You're just making it a bad word by assuming that consenting adults trying to populate the World is a bad thing.

Uh huh.

 

In the URL substitute the *bleep* for the naughty word.
