<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 2850166, member: 59737&quot;]I appreciate all the perspectives; here are some follow up thoughts. </p><p><br /></p><p>The seller has over 100 transactions with a 92% positive Feedback. A couple negative and neutral. </p><p><br /></p><p>In Germany, paying by bank transfer is totally normal and I&#039;ve done it successfully many times. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did get the coins I purchased, and for me it was a great deal (a gamble that paid off). Having said that, I don&#039;t think whether it was a good deal should ever play into whether I give positive or negative feedback. </p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed that a lot of people are saying to give positive feedback despite my very negative experience. Citing my mistake as grounds for an &quot;even draw&quot;. I also noticed these folks sell on eBay. I wonder how the responses would have been if the post was regarding a pain in the butt buyer who dragged a transaction out for a month? Obviously buyers can only get positive feedback, but I&#039;m sensing a strong bias here. </p><p><br /></p><p>The seller had terrible communication and called me a liar/thief over 25 cents. I owned up to my mistake, apologized, and sent in the money right away. I was prompt with every message and provided screen shots to show the seller what was going on. I don&#039;t feel our mistakes were on equal ground. </p><p><br /></p><p>I personally feel that leaving a positive feedback would be lying to other buyers. Had the seller simply made the error of the email address, I wouldn&#039;t have even asked and given positive feedback. I would not want to deal with this seller again and feel that not giving honest, neutral or negative feedback is lying to those who rely on my information to decide if they want to purchase from the seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to pose this question: what purpose is the postive, neutral, or negative rating. Why do we use it? Shouldn&#039;t it reflect our (subjective) perception of how the transaction went?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
