Well - I thought deep and hard about posting negative feeback until Ebay finishes whatever they do in a situation like this - but this morning when I saw the latest bid was close to his asking price, I had to post feedback. I did - and as he promised, he provided me negative feedback as well. But I have proof I contacted him within two days. His "counter" feedback - is simply, proveably(sp?) untrue - and I am confident Ebay will remove that feedback against me - when they read his extortion attempt to keep me from posting against him. I did get in touch with Ebay voice - who said they can do nothing till whatever is in progress finishes, but they made a note on my case that the goods were relisted and currently active. I hope they don't let it go to the end - that would be wrong on their part - me thinks.

I'll keep you posted.
