I've dealt with extortion in the past with no issue, but this is a new one.

Buyer got item, and left feedback. The Feedback says the item arrived in perfect brand new condition but left it as negative. I contacted eBay and they told me they can change it blah blah blah deal with the buyer because they always do. But when I contact the buyer about what looks like a mistake. They never answered on eBay but apparently eBay gave them my number for some reason - I thought I had removed all ability for this to happen after the last time I got an annoying calling buyer. But the buyer.on the phone is demanding $20 to change or fix the feedback.

I just hung up on them because I don't deal with that, and am now dealing with eBay about the extortion and why did they have my number so that's being worked on, but this buyer blew up my phone with a bunch of messages about "thinking about my ability to do business on eBay" and I need to "do better".

So I blocked them but they've annoyed me. Once upon a time you could sign people up for annoying mailing lists and spam calls, do those still exist? It doesn't seem the best idea to harass someone you gave all your info to.

I'm not trying to hire a hitman or anything just want to annoy him back.
 
Always record your calls. Its works as proof that he is demanding money for review change and according to Ebay rules he will get banned.
 
Just ignore him.

He is wasting your mental energy.

Or, perhaps, you could send him a dickhead of the year award.
Lol I had already forgotten about it until I saw the reply notification, it's not something that weight on me, just something that makes me laugh. Like sending a letter full of glitter dicks, that'll amuse me well enough.
You should have said that first man I was already loading my gun
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but it might be a bit much for some dude who set his extortion attempts at only 20$

I was honestly not prepared for calls from eBay randos. It happened once before but they said it was removed from anywhere customers would get it. They lady I talked to seemed to suggest he called and got it from one of their tellers but quickly backtracked and denied it. They've told me to try to get him to admit to it over eBay messages
