Just learned yesterday that Paypal is going to refund the full amount that I lost in that bad transaction back in Sept. I guess that means it wasn't such a bad experience after all. Just goes to prove that using Paypal is the best way to pay for an auction. Now I need to reinvest that refund so, I going to look around for something else .

My last entry got me some interesting feedback so, I decided maybe you have a point. New sellers do deserve a chance to make or break. I will deal with them as long as they offer Paypal. That way, if the deal does go sore, I can at least get some of the money back. I didn't mean to make any potential sellers think they aren't going to make it. I know it's hard to make the first few sells and get a start. I do however still stick to the ideal that you should have at least a 95 percent positive feedback, or at the very least a good reason for not having it. And I can't think of any arguement that would make me change my mind on that.

Back in September I bought a book from a seller who never sent it to me. I just filed a claim with Paypal but, he is no longer a registered user. I don't know if I will get my refund or not. This is the only place where I feel as though I can bitch about it. This whole experience is going to make me change how I do business on ebay. How? #1. I will never buy from a seller who has less than 100 positive feedbacks. No matter what he is selling, or how good the deal. #2. I will no longer buy from a seller who's feedback is less than 95 percent. NO matter what. #3. I will stick with sellers I know as much as possible. I know this seems to be harsh, but so what? If a seller can say they will not sell to anyone with negative feedback, why can't a buyer say the same? In fact, if you are a seller that makes to many demands of a buyer, I not dealing with you either.
