Why, you planning on doing either or both????

Slander is always oral.

Libel traditionally was written, but in the last 50 years or so some oral defamation has been considered libel in some jurisdictions - typically broadcast radio or television that has an element of permanence that mere speech doesn't.

I was just accused of selling a fake note in my feedback. I know the note is genuine I bought it from a major auction. The buyers an idiot and wanted a $500 note for 180 bucks. I was going to attempt compromise but he slammed me before I could . The auction only ended 12 days ago.

If it's a $500 note, then why did you have a $180 BIN on the note???

Numis,

I think he meant that the note was $180, but the buyer, when he got it, wanted a note worth $500- in other words, the dumbazz buyer expected to make $300 free.

What exactly did the buyer state in the feedback?
