If he refunded you and explained the situation, I see no reason to give negative feedback.
I easily have lost £500 on ebay in the last 12 months, which all is from small transactions. does this still count as "nothing"?
Your issue was with ROYAL MAIL, not the seller. hence the feedback being unfair imo.
Like I said there's two sides to the coin, we're just on the flipsides....I can see your point of view.....but I have to say that's you though and you choose to continue to use ebay because despite such a loss over the course of the year it obviously continues to be profitable for you. Which in a roundabout way is my point, wrangling over a tenner at christmas time on something like this I felt I was being nobbed quite frankly. As I said any other time I wouldn't have been half as bothered about waiting, I would have been totally cool with it, but when problems like this arise around christmas time and I'm out of pocket and without item then I do expect a little extra give and take. Because there is the element of a time factor and people only have so much money in the first place. You can think I was out of line all you like and no doubt you will but the fact is when people do right by me then I do right by them. And if not then I don't do them favors either. It's really that simple, I'm fair and very appreciative of favors but at the same time I will not stand for anyone treating me like a nob in life or business.
But I tell you another thing that wound me up at the time was that I'd left him the bad rep and then later that evening he was straight in with the email asking me to recant, and I basically told him where to go if he wasn't going to do me any favors. For me half of a good transaction anyway is what the seller is like to deal with in regards to manner and reasonable response time....especially when problems arise....and unfortunately some sellers do take the piss in that regard with ignoring correspondence etc. And at the time all I knew was that bottom line at that moment I was the one out of pocket and without item, obviously I was entitled to a refund but was being made to wait, and so by the book it was to be and when it came to rating my experience with the seller I was completely honest - and it did suck.
Put it this way m8, if he'd refunded me and not had me wait at that time of the year, I would have made a point of it in the rep and bumped the score.
But that wasn't how it turned out.
