[QUOTE="ConfederateHalf, post: 1230445, member: 27946"]Whether or not this guy gets a NEG from me will depend entirely upon what arrives in the mail. If I receive my order and everything is as described and it arrives in a timely fashion, then I will honor my word to this seller and leave him positive FB. The only reason I dangled the offer of positive FB to this jerk is because I wanted to give him an incentive to ship me my coins and not to mess with me any further. Having said that - I did report his listing violations to eBay and I plan to insert some very non-flattering remarks into the positive FB to help warn others. I do not fear retaliatory FB since eBay no longer allows sellers to leave NEG FB for buyers. I also don't put much stock in giving sellers NEG FB anymore because eBay allows the negative stuff to age-off after a year, so it has limited impact. Yes - you can look up people's old FB on [URL="http://www.toolhaus.org"]www.toolhaus.org[/URL], but many folks have no knowledge of this. My approach is to always hold the other guy's feet to the fire to obey the rules and to report violations to eBay. I also try to educate the other guy about why what they are doing is stupid - immoral - wrong - illegal - etc. in the hopes to appealing to the beter angels of their nature, though I'm not so sure that works very often..... <sigh>[/QUOTE]
