#2To be fair the buyer sounded like a big douche. Med Express immediately offered to reimburse the buyer for the $1.44 postage fee they were charged, it's a minor mistake that the buyer overreacted about. I find it kind of silly Med Express thinks they have a case here though, they probably have more money and will end up settling because the buyer won't be able to afford to fight.

Trouble is - you have to stand up to the bullies - even for those with whom you are less than sympathetic. Bullies must be stopped as if they succeed it will be you who they will come after next.

#5So if the buyer just left a bad rating, but no words, could she still be sued? One one hand voting seems like an extension of free speech, but on the other it feels that online voting shouldn't be counted as slander / libel.

But who is the bully here? I'm not sure.

When is the last time a bully offered to buy you lunch because he accidentally took yours by accident?

#8This seems like a very unfair situation for the company.
Think about what would happen if this were the other way around. For example, buyer returns an article, sends it through the post, and for some reason it ends up at Med Express door with postage due. They leave a negative feedback on eBay about the user.
The Internet would then also be up in arms about the company, 'abusing' its position to harm an underdog user.

#9People need to look up from their computers / phones once in awhile and tone down the passive aggressive nature that pseudo anonymity has instilled in the lot of us. How hard is it to work things out without escalation?

#10I'm guessing his comment is a bit more like "THESE GUYS SUCK!!!!1111111" than "I had to pay $1.44 more for postage". IMO that is fair enough, he is in the wrong. OTOH I'm sure eBay have a process in place for this - I think suing him is a bit much.
They could also just leave him negative feedback...
