You're completely ignoring lies and blackmailing that Vod does.

It appeared like Vod believed you were intentionally lying to him and reacted to it... he has reacted to others in a similar fashion when he thinks someone is intentionally being dishonest.
Blackmailing?? Are you sure you got the right term Huh

Vod told me that he doesn't see anything untrustworthy in what I did. Let that sink in.
Soon after this we discussed a little and he threatened to red-rate me unless I changed my rating. (Call that blackmailing or whatever you want.) And I did not change my rating.
Additionally, I also told him that I don't specifically trust him. This, I think, hurt his ego very badly (was not my intention though), finally triggering him to his sudden change of "opinion" etc, and rating me red.

2) Not correcting your actions after being provided the chance to do so. (#2 is a personal pet peeve of mine)

OK. Can't really remember exactly what I thought back then, but I did not see anything to "correct" at the time. Also, this whole auction case is completely out of proportions. For example, a staffer (mprep) changed his auction rules in the middle of an auction with bids in, and same handful of people (you, saltyspitoon and vod) who are now, still after many years whining about my vendor bid, are completely ignoring or accepting that, and so on. Hypocrites.

Regardless, none of this has anything to do with this auction and Vod's rating towards me has nothing to do with that auction, except that he uses it as it the "reason" as it's the only thing he could find about me that is even remotely controversial.

What is so hard in understanding that Vod's rating towards me has nothing to do with the auction, anyway? Yes, he states something about it in his rating reason, but could you now try to finally understand what happened in messages between us. Like, e.g., read the messages before constantly talking about irrelevant stuff.

For example you can check the biggest Finnish online auction site huutokaupat.com. It's given that auctions are by default with reserve, be it hidden, concealed or open. Even the U.S. law states that auctions are by default with reserve.

This isn't huutokaupat and it's not a US-based auction house.

Of course. Only thing I can really do is to tell you to educate yourself about auction standards in the world. I gave you just one example for e.g. starting point.
