Ebay Waning... Beware

Yeesh so 60+ dollars are gone for a bad fistful of track and problems. I would have simply gone down to the LHS for track and such. That's just me. Track is too cheap to be pushing on ebay. <br /> <br />I am not sorry for the position I have taken regarding track. I am also not caring about the seller's feelings towards feedback. If I saw Items in damaged condition. Tracks loosely packaged in paper envelopes with no padding! Buyer Beware! <br /> <br />I certainly would have understood that there was a problem with that seller and would be very careful in deciding if I want to do business with that seller. The seller has the duty to indicate the condition of the items up front and taking due care in the shipping. If the seller does not do the job well then they dont deserve to be coddled with positive feedback just because of the almighty 100% rating. <br /> <br />I personally have been lucky but I have no problem leaving feedback of any sort. The percentage of good versus bad feedback has no meaning to me. I also sometimes see the so called retalitory feedback in action and I think it is a waste. <br /> <br />Feedback to me shows me how the seller and customers felt about each other and sometimes with a little bit of reading can be quite educational. If I think someone is being too heavy on the messy sales and firing salvos of flaming bad nasty feed back but yet selling an item that I might want to buy I will be looking at both the sellers and all of his previous customers to see if it is worth adding myself to the flaming funeral pyre. <br /> <br />(Probably not) but sellers should do a good job and make the customer happy. I cannot sell peanuts to an elephant to save my life but those peanuts would be enjoyed by said animal or I will get trampled. <br /> <br />If this happened to me the way you described I would have left a negative feedback describing the poor condition of the articles in question and ate the losses as I think the seller has no interest in communicating or even trying to "split the bill" or consider a full refund. If I sold you track that bad, you deserve to have at least a partial refund if not the whole one. <br /> <br />I still think track is too cheap to sell on ebay, not worth the trouble when the LHS is just full of it.
