That's the first time I have ever heard of anyone threatening to sue someone just for negative ebay feedback. Sounds to me as if the seller figures he'll never get negative feedback at any time. What did he expect? The set was received very poorly packed, with a broken CRT. If I had received something I had won in an ebay auction in the same condition, I would not hesitate to leave negative feedback, the seller's reaction to it be darned. People who pack things for shipping that poorly have only themselves to blame if they get yelled at later because the item arrived broken or smashed.

I agree as well with the comment that there may be little or nothing to be concerned about as far as a lawsuit goes, considering the fact that the seller and buyer reside in different states--especially if those states are hundreds or thousands of miles distant from each other.
