It is hard to believe a seller this vile, aggressive, and disingeneous is allowed to operate on eBay.  Note that they write over and over that the dissatisfied buyer has accidentally left negative feedback for the wrong seller — as if that’s a daily occurrence.

(No, I didn’t buy from them.  Always check feedback.)

Power of two time!
