I decided to block them after their offer expired. I always look at people's feedback when buying luxury goods and it does make me feel better when someone is known for selling higher priced items. I surely wouldn't have any reservations if someone offered to pay for authentication and received a direct e-mail from Carol saying it's authentic. I'm obviously not trying to sell fake anything!
The tone makes my skin crawl and there is a feeling in my gut that says heck NO! I would rather keep my limited item than take a chance.
Ebay is no longer fun. Scam artist ruin everything!!! I hate that it's so easy to mistrust but it's gotten so bad.
