<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1180083, member: 307&quot;]You raise good points and I see them as three disctinctly different questions and will adress them this way:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Tough luck. You bid, you bought it. It is NOT the seller&#039;s responsibility to save you from your own stupidity. You may regret the purchase but it was your choice to bid on it. This was also one of the scenarios that I had suggested before. The buyer may regret buying the item and therefore may not have left feedback at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>This demonstrates the generosity of the eBay seller. He is compelled by eBay to accept the return and will do so. This changes when the buyer returns the item damaged. And is an issue that should be adjudicated.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>The buyer deserved positive feedback as soon as they made payment. The harm is in holding their feedback hostage. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let me try a different tack. Let&#039;s try to look at this situation strictly from the standpoint of trust. </p><p><br /></p><p>Seller lists item. Buyer pays seller (&lt;---buyer extends trust to seller) Seller sends item (&lt;----seller validates trust to buyer)</p><p><br /></p><p>In feedback the street goes the other way. Seller leaves + feedback for buyer. (&lt;---- seller extends trust to the buyer.) Buyer leaves + feedback for seller (&lt;--- buyer validates trust to seller) </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes you have to trust people. Sometimes you get burned, but that&#039;s life and there&#039;s no helmet for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
