I humbly ask for your forgiveness, kind Sir. I truly do aspire to, one day, approach your level of perfection, although that may be a goal I will never reach. It must be a wonderful feeling, though, and I certainly envy you the experience.

It's not perfection. It's logic. Sorry you take it so personally, but I stand by what I said...the more one spreads oneself thin, the more likely it is to happen. Are you telling me that isn't true? I, like others, do get spread thin. When it comes to selling on ebay, I can minimize that and therefore minimize my risk of making a mistake in the sale. Are you saying that isn't logical?
<< <i>It's not perfection. It's logic. Sorry you take it so personally, >>
As I am not about to alter the way I run my eBay business based on the opinions I've read (so far, anyway), no- don't take it personally. Besides, the comment of mine quoted was sarcasm- sorry it doesn't come across well in the printed word.

No. I never suggested otherwise.

No, I'm not. Are you saying that people who don't run their eBay businesses the way you run yours intend to maximize their risk?
Simply put- there has been nothing posted to this thread that would lead me to believe negative feedback is appropriate for the situation being discussed (although additional evidence could cause me to reevaluate my position), but that's because I don't think unintentional errors deserve such feedback. Obviously, not everybody agrees, and I certainly hope when they're in a position to get as good as they're advocating giving, the giver is more charitable to them.
<< <i>What if it was a regular auction and the seller didn't like the final bid and then claimed he accidentally lost it or sold it. Would you give him a neg? Honest mistakes can happen, right? >>
So neg 'em all just in case they are the unscrupulous one you describe here. Hey, it is better to neg 50 innocent sellers than let one bad one go unscathed. --Jerry

Time for the PCGS U.S. Coin Forum Witch Hunt™ again? Didn't we just have one?
I do agree that eBay should certainly make known how many times a seller requests transactions to be cancelled (&/or determines a buyer's claim of failing to deliver item was valid) much like they keep track of bid retractions.

That is an excellent idea. It would certainly illustrate the difference between a seller with 10,000 transactions/2 no-sales and a seller with 200 transactions/25 no- sales.
<< <i>Not sure i'd go right for the negative, but I wouldn't be happy about it at all. would probably just leave neutral or some low star ratings?? sellers get away with too much because buyer don't leave accurate enough feedback. >>

Low stars is worse than a negative financially. I lost $200 on fee rebates last month because someone rated my shipping time as 1 or 2. --Jerry >>
IMO this is just unnecessary and overboard as a response to the seller... >>
some sellers make an honest mistake... bought some BIN currency earlier this year that the seller mistakingly relisted.. he offered some of his other items at a reduced price ..
The seller has a low number of feedbacks (less than 75) and all are positive. I am not going to leave him any feedback as I do feel it was an "honest" mistake on his end. Hopefully he will learn from it. I told him to make sure that he ends the eBay auction first before confirming a sale outside of eBay.
I will not provide his user name, or the auction link, because I feel that nothing positive would come from that. I was simply a little upset because I really liked this particular item. But, in the scheme of things, I have enough "stuff" so it's no big deal in the end.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
