When did I ever say that the game arrived here fine? I’m not saying it didn’t, but you are being presumptuous. I left a neutral because I am accustomed to a higher standard when it comes to packaging. A bubble mailer is the standard for sending games, and yours was the first time I ever got one wrapped like a Christmas present in brown paper. I responded to your neutral feedback on my feedback page because I want prospective buyers to know why I got a neutral and not shy away from my auctions. I’m really not sure what e-mailing you to “resolve the problem” was going to accomplish. What were you going to do? Nothing. You were going to tell me that if the game got here OK then I have nothing to complain about, which I disagree with. What did I pay $2.50 shipping for? It cost a dollar to send the game first class. Was that $1.50 worth of brown paper? The point of feedback is to give the buyer and seller a means of expressing their satisfaction with an auction. I can honestly say that in all the things I have purchased on eBay, yours was the most cheaply and haphazardly packaged, so I left you a neutral. You say left me a neutral for not contacting you before I left mine, but all that would have happened is that you would have told me that my item got here fine and that I have nothing to complain about, and then I would have still left you a neutral.
Ultimately, what was the point of you e-mailing me? Did it really bother you that much that you got a friggin neutral??? You’ve received six negs in the past year so I can’t imagine that one neutral is that big of a deal.
I wasn’t pissed that the game got here the way it did, nor was I pissed that you left me revenge feedback, nor am I pissed at you now for sending me this e-mail. But you certainly didn’t do anything in my eyes to earn a positive. You never contacted me when the auction ended, you never contacted me when you received payment, and you never contacted me when you shipped my item. In fact this is the first e-mail I have ever received from you because I, God forbid, left you a neutral feedback. You haven’t exactly done anything to make me feel like I did something wrong by giving you the feedback that I did. Seeing as how you have 5 negative feedbacks resulting from winning bidders never receiving their item, I guess I should feel lucky that I got the game at all.
Sorry this was so long but you opened the door so I stepped through it.
