Default Re: Buyer Beware

I paid $50.00 in shipping from the UK (didn't read carefully enough before I bid), after I noticed my mistake I asked why it was so high, and that I thought it was too much. He just said that with import costs and permit fee that it what it would come to. I didn't belive him but paid anyway. It arrived without any permit, with a label that didn't say it was a plant, with postage for about $6.00. I complained and got threats in return, so I wrote up a bad review for him, and in turn got I bad review for myself. Then he requested through Ebay that we both take down our bad reviews, but I'm stubborn and wouldn't do it even though it made my approval percentage look bad.
Even with feedback it's hard to tell if someone is on the up and up because of the blackmail type tactics that are employed in retailiation.
Have had good luck with most sellers though.
