Reply #5: My 20th feedback was negative.

A guy misrepresented a set of cylinder heads. I figured it out before I paid and refused payment. That was August of 2000. I have since achieved a feedback rating of 659 to date.
Make sure he states in his auctions that he will charge actual shipping charges and then does so. He can also follow up to the neg that it was a mistake and that the buyer did not allow him to make good. People do not like getting overcharged for shipping and some are very sensitive about it. Some people who are assholes are sensitive about shipping charges. That's the way it goes. I only charge actual shipping and people get packaging info so they can make their own online estimates but they still give 4.5 ratings for shipping charges so there you are.

One neg will not hurt, if he responds and if he addresses shipping charges clearly in future auctions.
