........REGARDING FEEDBACK:

…..…....… I always leave Positive feedback soon after the sale ……… A positive response from you later on would be nice…… that’s your choice. I do want to say that IF something goes wrong, if I have made a mistake of some kind, we both should agree, as buyer and seller, to solve the problem like civilized people. Negative feedback should not be used as a ‘first response’ to a mistake…….... I mean, after all, I am only human…

..

….. ALSO – The Ebay Feedback system is not ACCURATE … For a better reflection of my selling reputation……. go to one of my listings……

.. … then, in the top right area, under ‘Seller Information’, you will see 'See other items’. Click on that. You will see any items I am selling.

.. Now, go to the left margin, scroll down, then click on 'SOLD LISTINGS'.........… You will now see all the things I’ve sold recently, all without a complaint.

.. eBay’s FEEDBACK in not accurate because most Buyers don’t leave Feedback. Why? I don’t know. But it’s a fact. Look in Ebay ‘Community’; many other Sellers say the same thing.
