Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Everyone in the comments acting like the seller is righteous and isn't lying. The seller relinquished ownership. End of story. The poster painted and re-sold it: new story.
A) why is seller stalking painter?
B) fuck off and put the work in yourself.
There's so much entitlement and sour grapes in this.
I generally agree... But we are missing some important context.
If it was listed for more and the buyer pretended they were struggling/needed it to get them to drive the price down, I can understand the sellers reaction.
And if they're an avid user of marketplace they may not have been stalking, just noticed "hey, that's my dresser, and that seller is the lady I sold to" as they navigate through the items.
In saying all that... They could just as equally have realised they messed up and are bitter about it.
Can't really make a clear judgement on the info at hand
I could sit here and spin up a thousand hypothetical but plausible scenarios that could push the judgment from "burn the seller at the stake" to "burn the buyer at the stake" and everything in between and around. I would be stupid to do so. It's best to judge with the information you have available and no more. And if the result of that is you can't make a final judgment, that's your final judgment pending getting more information.
There's a disease that is predominantly (albeit not exclusively) North American of a) assuming there's only two sides, and b) picking one to be the villain. Sometimes things are vague and unknowable, and sometimes (most times!) things are not straightforward black-and-white moral puzzles.
Yes. I understand that. It's the point of my post.
Nobody knows.
