The advantages of stealth
 

is being able to give it back to a**hole buyers without giving a toss as even if Ebay take action you still have multiple backups available :clap:

I do wonder if some of the f**kwits I deal with actually have any common sense at all

I sell small items mostly less than £5 and the number of complaints I get is minimal but being able to tell a customer he needs to "get a life" and another that he "doesn't know his a*rse from his elbow" I do find very gratifying especially after 12 years of having to bite my tongue to protect my account

I'm not a keyboard warrior by any means but if they start at least I can now give it back.

Happy days :dance:

Well, To me stealth accounts have a variety of advantages BUT I try my best not to waste time arguing with people or doing anything to loose my accounts. For me, it is all about sales.......

Yes, I agree... you "make" more money giving in (for the most part, of course), giving a refund and moving on than digging in your heals and fighting back and risking your account/feedback. I have come to terms to let a certain $ amount to be considered just the cost of doing business and moving forward. If you get too emotionally invested in the injustices (especially lower $ transactions) you will waste a lot of time and energy in fights you will never win, or benefit from to the point it was worth your risk/investment if you did win them.

**PS... but who among us haven't fantasized about coming across one of these *holez on an account that was on it's last leg anyway, where you could absolutely tell a routine fb extortionist (they ARE out there!) to go fly a kite in an electrical storm... and enjoy imagining their reaction to an email that for once doesn't give them the upper hand that they are used to. :d

Time is money and time spent telling people off is not wisely spent... but I do agree it can feel good
