Gave him that option. He refused.

Well, i must say it is a breath of fresh air to be speaking to someone on my level. If you refer to my first reply E-mail, I was being very polite, and gave plenty of options to resolve this matter.
I have spoken to a handful of long running power sellers this morning, and they have backed up what i've been saying all along. The listing is valid, purely because that spoiler was sold through Ford dealers as available to the Ford RS 1800 (which i am sure you know is a normally aspirated engine) AND also to the Ford RS Turbo. If you check Ebay out carefully, you will see people adding titles such as 'Ford Fiesta MK3 headlight RS TURBO' even though the light isn't from the turbo, its from a 1.1, but because they fit, they are allowed to use the title 'RS TURBO'
I've been asked 6 times now 'Does it fit the turbo?' To which i replied 'yes', Because it does! So i think you will find, i am perfectly within my rights.
The reason i left negative feedback and filed a complaint is because your husband was acting like a child, and was insulting my intelligence. I couldn't see myself getting through to him to explain why i want £3 to cover my fees. I've lost £70 in the last 2 weeks to Ebayers who buy without thinking.
I've bought loads of things on Ebay for my girlfriend, and half of it was wrong and not what she wanted. But i still paid for it. I knew i was at fault, so i paid for the items because letting down Ebayers is not the right thing to do.
One thing that has confused me though, now this isn't a dig at you or your partner, but if he knows as much about cars as he is making out, how come he diddn't see the spoiler was not right for him?
Kind regards,
Spence
