    Fairly yes, only 17 or 18 stars, not got 10 DRSs yet, I think that could be it - doesn't want negs making his account look bad for what I believe was an honest mistake (mixing up when he could post). I have to admit his extra communication had pulled him from a neutral to a positive, after him being so lovely I felt way too guilty to leave anything lower just for slow dispatch:rotfl:Though did knock his stars for dispatch down to 3 anyway.. is that awful? :o

    Yes it is awful - he tried to compensate (albeit excessively and a bit weird)
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Hi

    I think that's so mean of you, after all the seller may have had a very good reason for being away when the listing ended and did send you money to compensate for late delivery, so it was completely unnecessary to be so mean to him. I hope he has blocked you, I would. He may have had a family emergency, these things happen and you don't necessarily want to discuss this with someone you don't know.

    Cheers
    Casper

    I knocked it down to 4 stars not 3 (didn't proof read, sorry) - my problem is factualness, it was a nice transaction overall but the fact is it was quite slow postage (almost 2 weeks after winning), which I thought was what stars were meant to be about? He doesn't yet have 10 DSR ratings so they're not shown.

    Casper, does my username remind you of a Ebay username you've come across then I take it? If it's as a problem buyer I've yet to leave anybody a neg/neutral or below 4 DSR stars, or been slow paying etc. But that's all you get. A seach does tell me there's an ebay user called littlerat, but they're in the US.

    lol I can't belive you gave him only 4 stars when he paid you £4.95 and sent you the scarf - that is really mean.
