Hi everyone,

I recently bought two items cheaply off eBay. They arrived after two weeks in poor packaging, but fortunately undamaged.

The seller had charged very little for post and packaging, but I believe he should have charged a bit more for something stronger - I would still have bid (BTW, I was the only bidder).

So, any ideas what feedback I should leave? I want to do constructive criticism. Maybe positive feedback with a private message to discuss how to improve his future sales?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like this is the right approach

With my New Years Resolution up and running this is how I'd do it as well.. tell the guy that he is mostly getting positive feedback due to luck rather than his packing methods...

Brette's probably got the right idea here - though the 'magic stars' are there for a reason (apart from to piss off DMdave that is!)


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

This sounds like a case where the stars can actually be used in a way that makes sense. Perhaps you could leave a carefully-worded positive, but grade him way down on the shipping score? That way, you're sort of getting both "messages" across.
