For me it is the resellers on Ebay. I am a small fish. I get blackmailed with Neg for no price reduction, but not in clear enough terms that anyone will fix it for me. Authentic Designer items are my area and really challenging to sell.

First I Googled their local newspaper. Then I told them "well I can't leave a neg on Ebay but I can do something much worse. I can out you as a blackmailer and petty crim in the XX your local paper. Then all your friends, neighbours, the people in your workplace, church, your kids school etc will know you for a cheapskate petty criminal who thought you could get off with threatening a disabled senior because she lived in another country. Local papers are always looking for juicy human relations shories and I will sure enjoy sending the editor your blackmailing emails with full headers. Yadda yadda."

After that the buyer became silent.

And yes I would have done it!

I have also threatened buyers and sellers who owed me money with debt collectors and having their credit rating trashed.

Roflmao, I just read it and I am about to die from not being able to breathe from laughing too hard. "I have sold more items on EB than you have had hot dinners" is just too much. That could be one of the funniest lines for all of 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
