>>This really has nothing to do with shipping itself, as the auctions he left neg feedback for had shipping clearly stated.

Actually its quite clear that this is about shipping cost. I agree that the auctions clearly stated the shipping amounts and that if the buyer didn't find them acceptable he shouldn't have bid. But he did and the dispute is about shipping cost. I really don't see how you could conclude otherwise.

>>1. Look at the feedback's he has left. The only positive's he ever leaves are a period .... that's right, just one single dot ... !! What kind of an ebayer does that ??

Hardly a reason to not do business with him. So he's lazy (most buyers who leave feedback leave a message that is just as meaningless as a ".") To be hinest with you believe the entirety of the feedback system is as meaningless as a "." especially now that they apparently allow withdrawal of feedback

>>2. He not only left John 2 Negs on one shipment, he even deviously created a 2nd ebay ID named rounder76011 (FB -1) and bought another auction from John 2 weeks later for the sole purpose of leaving more negative feedback .. !!!

I'm not saying he did or he didn't but I don't know how you can possibily know that it is him. Even if it is him, my point is still valid that this is based on a dispute about overcharging for shipping and sellers who do not jack up their shipping charges are not likely to have a problem with him.

>>3. I have done business with John Reynolds and he is of the highest caliber and would never had let this get to be a problem if this unreasonable buyer had just communicated with him !!

I haven't said anything about John or any other seller involved. All I said was that if you don't jack up your shipping cost it does not appear that you will have a problem with this buyer, therefore it is not really in a seller's best interest to block this bidder (unless they overcharge for shipping).
