    For all the safegaurds put in place EBay is still somewhat of a gamble. I've made 7 purchases and up to now i've not had a problem. As soon as the screen says 'You've won' i pay immediately i know not everyone is like that and i know that eventually i'll have a bad experience. All in all i love Ebay and think its great and hopefully you've just had your one bad experience.

    I now how you feel, they really wind me up as well. I have got a NPB at the moment who is a newbie. Now the problem is if i leave him a neg he will just close the account and start again. Where as I have got much much more to lose than him, so im not going to bother leaving him any feeedback.

    Feedback is not the most important thing for NPBs, the NPB strike is. The strike can do them more damage as three NPB strikes and they are out.

    Don't forget you can respond to the feedback, and as I have mentioned elsewhere, I go for things like...

    "Your Emailed Apology Is Accepted... We All Make Mistakes :o)"

    "Your Emailed Apology Brought Me To Tears. Accepted & Take Care"

    :D

    OK then how about -
    " sorry to here about your jail sentance hope your parole goes well, and your granny victim can learn to walk again "

    " thanks for explaing that your sequestrators will be in touch "

    " i advise you not to bid until your medication kicks in and your psychatrist discharges you "

    " I look forward to recieving your county court payments "

    Sure the others can add some suggestions. :D
