Sued For Being Neutral

Jessica Mathewson-Library Media Technical Asst.-jessica.mathewson@law.csuohio.edu | April 25, 2008 - 14:51

Steve Shellhorn, of Seattle, was recently sued for giving NEUTRAL feedback for a purchase he made on EBay. Mr. Shellhorn purchased some Silver dollar coins from a seller in North Carolina. When the purchase arrived, the coins were placed in an envelope, without any additional packing. The seller requested feedback. While the price was fair, the packaging was sub par, so Mr. Shellhorn gave neutral feedback. Next thing he knows he is being sued for $10,000 for tarnishing the seller's reputation. The case was eventually tossed but not without Mr. Shellhorn having to spend another $500 hiring an attorney. Interesting tidbit about the seller...he is a wanted man in North Carolina.

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. This con-man needs to accept all criticim - good or bad - if he is going to sell to the public.
