He made a mistake, and would have lost out to the tune of £50 by sending the goods, which is a fair amount of money in this day and age.

And all you can think about is leaving a negative feedback to really harm his business.

Never made a mistake have you?

Selfish.

It will help to ensure he doesn't make the same mistake again.

Why thanks and a merry christmas to you too, Steven.

:beer:

He has a feedback score of 25000, like my neg will make much of a dent. I don't think his children are going to go too hungry, bless them.

Hey, Its Christmas, yeah give that naughty power seller a negative, hopefully he has young children that can easily be sent out to work for a living if this genuine mistake cost him his business!

Merry Christmas!

Exactly Steve... People are FAR too quick to leave a negative, for what could be a genuine mistake, and could COST SOMEONE THEIR ENTIRE LIVELYHOOD.

But, hey, what the hell... I'm ok Jack.

They'll be one step closer, if you leave a negative.

It doesn't take many negatives, and eBay stop even the best people selling.

think i'd leave something factual. 'i paid, had dispatch email, then seller demanded more money, i refused' but i'd definatly leave negative feedback, for a negative transaction.

Blimey, take a chill pill, how is one neg in 25000 going to cost him his livelihood :rotfl:

It is understandable what the seller did, but the goods were offered at a price and payment was instigated.

However, if they seller did not receive the actual payment then the payment was in transit rather than complete.

I would leave the negative (seller offered BIN and refused to honour) .

(I am reminded of a Dell mis-price thread a while back, I think it was external hard drives, where the payments were taken but Dell then reneged.)

Yep, that's what I have in mind. Thanks for a sensible reply.

that's true, so lets all agree what the neg should be? "seller made an honest mistake, I asked moneysaving fans and then left a ****"

Fill in the blank?

Saving money at the expense of someones mistake? I dont think that's the spirit in which this website was concieved? This a real human being remember, I think sometimes people forget all actions do have consequeces?
