Frank,
Thanks, and I hope you are right. I've been
giving him the benefit of the doubt just in case the
holidays/vacations at this time of year have been
affecting things.
However.... The seller has (0) rating so I
figured he was a new seller and this was his first
auction. So I didn't check his feedback ratings
because with a (0) rating it would be a wasted
mouseclick. Or so I thought. A few days ago I must
have clicked it by mistake or trying to get more
information on the seller. Guess what. He has had
several auctions, with 2 positive feedbacks and 2
negative feedbacks.
What I didn't realize is that with 4 auctions
under his belt, Ebay added the negatives and postives
which cancelled eachother out and gave him the (0).
More disconcerting is that two other buyers
experienced more or less the same thing I'm going
through with him now.
Kicking myself in the pants for not checking his
feedback. I don't always get feedback when I purchase
something, but will now!
Live and learn.
