…..…....… I always leave Positive response soon after the sale ………A positive response from you later on would be nice…… that’s your choice. I do want to say that IF something goes wrong, if I have made a mistake of some kind, we both should agree, as buyer and seller, to solve the problem like civilized people. Negative response should not be used as a ‘first response’ to a mistake…….... I mean, after all, I am only human…

…..ALSO – The response system is not ACCURATE … For a better reflection of my selling reputation……. go to one of my listings……

..… then, in the top right area, under ‘Seller Information’, you will see 'See other items’. Click on that. You will see any items I am selling.

..Now, go to the left margin, scroll down, then click on 'SOLD LISTINGS'.........… You will now see all the things I’ve sold recently, all without a complaint.

..’s response in not accurate because most Buyers don’t leave response. Why? I don’t know. But it’s a fact. Look in ‘Community’; many other Sellers say the same thing.
