    I'd guess it means, you have nothing to worry about this far down the line, you have your cash, customer has their item, and if they were planning on scamming you then they no longer have an account to do it with.
    I wouldn't worry about it tbh.

    Not sure if anyone else has said, but if you keep asking "Has it arrived?" and it's by non -tracked post, they could very well turn round, know that you won't know different, and say no , and request a refund.

    Did that yesterday actually- it was a really cheap item, posted badly and not poor quality- couldn't be bothered with feedback.
    Got a message from seller "can you leave feedback".
    Ignored.
    Got another message "CAN YOU RETURN FEEDBACK??"
    He got his feedback. :rolleyes:

    iconNeg_16x16.gifCards were damaged and poorly packaged (btw, feedback is voluntary)

    He's now whinging at me (again in all caps)

    i must say this is very bad advice, all you basically did was ignore the seller and then neg him for asking for feedback.

    I'd of at least given the seller the option to address the issue, surely even if the item was cheap and not worth a refund it would have been just as easy to reply to the email telling him you were not that happy and don't want to leave feedback.

    i'm not suprised he's "whinging", CAPS and all, you neged him without giving him any indication that you had a problem, or allowing him any opportunity to rectify the situation, i'd be p1ssed off too. :rolleyes:

    It's not advice, it's a anecdote :p

    One obviously petty neg won't make any difference to his sales, but it might stop him being annoying in future.
    I was being nice in the first instance by not leaving feedback- I could have just left bad straight away, but I didn't want the trouble.

    I don't have time to deal with morons unless they provoke me.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
