Do I leave a neg or neutral?

The only honest response is a BIG FAT negative clearly explaining why, and if people were more honest, EBay would be a far better place.
My philosophy is to be 100% honest with listings and feedback, and if I get a genuine question regarding a listing, then I know I didn't do a good job of the listing. That said, at the same time I like to cover my butt by operating 4 accounts.
Account 1 : Primary selling account used for all goods, except those detailed against Account 2. A 500+ Pos (1 neg from three years ago) account that commands top dollar selling prices. The one neg made me realise I needed to seperate buying and selling.
Account 2 : Secondary selling account used for goods that I feel may attract Non Paying Bidders i.e. the kids cast off phones, computer games, etc.
Account 3 : Primary buying account, where I can be 100% honest with feedback without fear that retaliatory negs will affect my sales. As a dyed in the wool sniper, who cares if I have the odd retaliatory neg for being honest?
Account 4 : Question for seller account. Used solely for that purpose, for asking questions, seing if a NPB is dead
, other stuff.

I see what you mean now. I took it to mean that things were ok because you'd been left a postive feedback.
Obviously, reading it all again it wasn't my brightest reply.
It has occured to me over the last few days though, just what would happen if something looked good, then a positive was left, yet washed so bad it was rendered useless?
Obviously the sellers know more than me
