This evening i have left 2 negs as i'm not bothered any more about retalitory negs in return.
1 was for non delivery of a book and the other was a dress that turned up minging/stinking/worn/completely misdescribed (see my previous posts for details of these transactions!)
Reason i have decided to not wait it out was because they have both received recent feedback complaining of the same things as me. The Book seller has received a total of 15 negs in a week! The !!!!!! should be NARU'ed by now! Anyway, i thought it was only right to be completely honest and warn other potential buyers what they could be letting themselves in for..

    Well bookman usually retaliates by the looks of it, so looking forward to my 1st neg there, not sure about dress woman, hasn't retaliated ...yet. I'm expecting 2 to arrive tomorrow though.

    I don't care anymore, i'm not happy so i feel this should be reflected in my feedback! Afterall, thats what its there for.

    yeah fair play to your bargainbabe! it kind of defeats the object when people are scared of negging people (but i know why they would be) so if they deserved it then good on ya!

    Well this morning, as predicted i have received my very 1st shiny new negative. This was from "dresswoman". Amazingly, the seller has blatantly lied in the feedback. My complaint about the dress was that it was not as described. It had been worn and stunk strongly of fags. Dress was described as "new without tags". It was clearly not. However, in the retalitory feedback she has stated this:

    ITEM AS STATED-SHE NEEDED LARGER SIZE. ALSO LEFT UNTRUE FEEDBACK...AVOID.

    !!!!!!! I never even mentioned anything about the size! Talk about an effing liar. :(. Anyway, i still await retalitory negative no 2.
