<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Copper56, post: 2153556, member: 74010&quot;]This has been an interesting exercise. Please understand that I appreciate all responses, however, I&#039;m embarrassed for the (very) few of you who answered with gusto while reading only maybe one, but certainly no more than two posts. More like you just scanned a post and decided you had the perfect answer. </p><p>Of course the best answers came from those who actually read my posts and with an already working understanding of ebay rules and sellers<i> idiosyncrasies. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>As I have stated, I came across a coin about to go off way under bid. So, after checking that seller was in the US, and had at least a 99% feedback (he had 100%) I quickly placed a bid. After winning the coin at $45 under bid I quickly scanned his other items, all of which were going off within the next 3 minutes. I bid on 11, winning 7 more. At that point, as you should realize, I did not have time to ask seller a question. Yes, as I have stated, I am always prepared to pay stated shipping charges. </p><p>Never assuming anything, but also in 16 yrs of ebaying no seller has ever failed to at least give a little shipping discount when asked.. usually on their own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think everyone at least read my post about contacting seller asking for a discount. And most understood that after the 2nd invoice request ebay sent a generated reply. That made me wonder if he then, at that point, adjusted his policy. (I did win every auction at 15 - 50% below bid) So you see, as stated, I had no real problem with paying each charge. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that only those who read my &#039;explanation&#039; posts get that my problem with the seller is that he Did Not acknowledge my messages.</p><p>If he had just answered my inquiry in the first place I would not have even posted this here. </p><p><br /></p><p>And, john59, my &quot;crying after the fact&quot; is only because the seller is a coward and wanted ebay to cover for him. He has yet to respond to me. If I had not bid on these coins he would have received even less money. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess you are wondering what I have decided. As I have previously stated, in 16 years I have never left negative feedback.. Until last month. (Some of you will remember the fake coin seller)</p><p><br /></p><p>I am going to leave him a <b>positive</b> on the higher priced coin.</p><p>I am going to leave him a <b>neutral </b>on <i>one</i> of the other 7, explaining the absolute non communication, and leave the remaining 6 in limbo. </p><p>I am going to leave him 1 star on shipping and 1 star on communication. 5 stars on the other two.</p><p>Then I am going to see if he knows how to communicate.</p><p>I&#039;m not going to mention the shipping unless he does. Only then will I mention his shipping all in one small brown envelope. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Again, thanks for all responses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
