[QUOTE="ace71499, post: 3086945, member: 56712"]I have 70 feedback on eBay (not a lot i know) and only 1 negative in my selling career. I get a message, of course on the day I'm leaving for vacation, that the buyer claimed the items weren't in the conditions as described. I asked him how he would like to move forward, I was happy to help. He wanted a full refund and to keep the item. That wasn't going to happen (especially because i know the item i sent was as described, and i believed i was "being taken for a ride") So i offered for him to return the item (at his shipping cost) and then I'd give him a full refund (i didn't even offer returns at the time). He didn't appreciate this solution, so he decided to just leave a negative feedback. I contacted eBay, said i tried to work out a solution with the buyer and the buyer just ignored me. I also noted that if the buyer still wanted to work something out i would be willing to work with him. EBay took down the feedback and i never heard from the buyer again. Generally, if you are doing the right thing on eBay, you wont get stuck with a negative feedback. For a $250 item, i would insure the package, just in case. The post office does make mistakes sometimes, or some buyers aren't exactly 100#% truthful. Also pack it correctly to eliminate the possibility of damage. The last slab i was send was wrapped in thick paper towels. I never thought of shipping like this, but it definitely acted as an insulator, reducing chances for damage.
