[Healeys] Ebay - Bizarre

[Alan Seigrist]

Kees -

It was never an issue of the lack of delivery, but the attempt to hold back
refund in order to change rating.  Doesn't matter, they reported me to eBay
and now I'm no longer on eBay.  I also got a permanent ban from eBay.
You'd think I was President Trump or something!

Cheers,

Alan
