Therefore, he asked Mr. Joel Jones (Joel Jones) who is the seller to repay the amount and to keep an honest opinion on trading, so-called "evaluation with comment". The content written at that time is like this.

"The item was scratched and it was damaged. Moreover, it was a product different from Mr. Jones' explanation"

I thought that this was the end, but what his evaluation came from was an email saying "It is slanderous slander and insult," said Mr. Jones, the seller, "Unfavorable commentary It damaged. " In addition, a warning letter arrived and was warned that if the comment was not withdrawn it would be dragged to the court and attorneys' fees and other damages would come down.
