I was stupid enough to bid on (and win) an auction
touting a “Proven idea that works in newspapers”.

I chose to give neutral feedback and described
the one sentence reply I was to send to anyone buying the idea from me.
The seller didn’t like that and chose to give me
negative feedback accusing me of sabotage.
At their request, I withdrew my neutral feedback,
which had the pleasant effect of countering their negative feedback
