[Mccoypottery-talk] a lil' OT - need advice re: eBay feedback

[sheldon & lisa brown]

mj, see if she has any current auctions going and ask her that way. Or go
back to the auction and click on ask seller a question. I had a bad
experience too. I won an auction and I could not mail the check out right
away, (sick mother). I did email telling that I would send the check right
away. Well in two weeks I received bad feed back. My first out of 150. I
didn't receive my item for two months......It was a bank with no stopper. I
had to trash it....I left her bad feed back telling  everyone, just like the
other 4 people did. I know now to look at the feedback to see what other
people said.... I never deal with anyone who has private feedback. Which she
now has..I should have understand her name...I-AM-ANTISOCIAL....Looking back
now that should have said it all. Sheldon
