Feedback Adice? Good, Neutral, or Negative?

[Fonedork]

Threads speak louder than feedbacks, I think the feedback decision at the end of the day is rather moot.

 

[Mike Pierson]

Dude, you freaked out. He did nothing wrong. 24hrs of no update is nothing. If that causes the reaction you had and still are having you better not plan on buying much more stuff on here. You were completely covered by PayPal and your credit card. Absolutely no need to involve them after only a day. Sorry, you are in the wrong here. And the fact that you changed your feedback in retaliation says a lot. Now you get to lay in the bed you have made.

Originally I stated I could have been more patient, was not going to post, only learn here.
Oh, no feedback was changed, that is incorrect. Feedback was added, not changed. A comment was added too, Nothing was changed. Another stretch of the actual story.

Sure thing,
Thought this was over. I did sent him a pm apologizing for his apparent hurt feelings, he left that out too.
Says something there also about him.
I admitted to any fault on my part already, & thanked everyone for comments.

Neutral feedback is not positive feedback and in a earlier post you claimed you left positive feedback... am I missing something ?

I left positive feedback, felt like on a whirlwind, moved on.
Thanks, Mike

 

[Mike Pierson]

Again,
I admitted to my error that I made and of impatience.
I tried to explain my side, & only included what he left out, like my apologies. Thank you again.

Good grief, too comical.
He closed the thread, now reopens it for more drama.



Is not retalitory feedback at all, was trying to tell my side, the seller closed thread.

The package was picked up by his rural mailman but was never accepted at his post office or anywhere in Georgia.
His mailman might have made a scan, was never “accepted” & nothing happened after that, until Albq.
It was over 24 hours too, by the way.
The box was missing from his mailman, all the way to Albq, with no tracking no data nothing.
Thought it was done, but not going to sit here and be character attacked.

You flipped a wig WAY to soon. Life happens, he was out of town and informed you as much.

Good grief, the more you dig the more of us that don't want to deal with you. Criminy. On the ignore list you go.

I understand everyones comment, and why, no worries at all, & great to hear opinions and all thoughts.

Thank you, I was not going to post, & only listen & learn here,
since you ask-
I hope this makes sense.

Later on or the next day after I paid,
& seller "created a shipping label" at his Georgia home, (he was polite and corteous also)
he informed me around late afternoon on Friday that
"he was going to the mountains, and or would be gone, plus have sketchy phone/internet.
That he could make some calls on Monday, once he came back home, if no scans of the tracking number had appeared."

Amex when contacted on Friday evening recommended contacting PayPal as well,
& was suspicious of a "no acceptance scan/receipt" of no scan being completed locally from the sellers post office, any proof of "accepting any box", & no forward progress, only a "label has been created situation", no package, no tracking, & still no acceptance/movement proof, anywhere.

The package was never scanned as being accepted anywhere in the process in the sellers home area, or his state. The package went from Georgia, to Albq New Mexico & was never scanned.

Insurance added up to $500 total; tho, I had paid $545 to seller.

After no receipts were produced or sent to me,
being told he would be gone until Monday, my frustration and becoming suspect of the missing data,
that receipts were at his home, he was not-
I made a phone call to Amex Friday evening to get advice.
Again later and as stated by the customer service agent that they would now
"locate the package",
they located the box, & notified me.

I was outside waiting for our rural mail carrier Saturday, hoping.
As soon as any knife appeared
and every istep of this saga, I communicated to seller exactly "what, and why"
I was doing anything at all.
Me, looking for the "warm fuzzy" good feeling in all BF's transactions;
it never came until I contacted Amex, and they acted to find it.

No excuses, impatient yes, now looking back.
I felt suspect for good reason I thought. I wanted to see proof if a shipment.

I left positive feedback, felt like on a whirlwind, moved on.
I learned that in some cases: buy directly from the knife maker if possible,
usps service sucks even on an $500 insured package, & that a sig confirmation may not help,
that I could also be more trusting, that not everyone is a scammer, & some good people are still there.
I luv the Medium Chopper.
Thanks, Mike

You stirred this back up by leaving a second neutral feedback on a deal that you already left a positive. If you wanted to share more, then contact a mod to reopen or start your own thread.

Alluding that he is trying to silence your side is a bit a bit unfair considering you had two days to share your side and only chose to after being prompted by the peanut gallery.

From this member of the peanut gallery, your actions look a bit retaliatory. If there was no malicious intent you at least need to greatly familiarize yourself with the systems you use (PayPay, USPS, forum protocols etc) otherwise you'll run into issues again.

So you gave a back handed apology? Your words, not mine. The coms presented here say he deserves the credit for keeping a level head. You were beyond just a hassle, and continue to be apparently.

You started a claim after only 24hrs! My gosh man. Had you accepted the neutral and moved on this wouldn't still be a thing.

 

[craytab]

So he left two feedbacks?

 

[Boru13]

So he left two feedbacks?

Not two separate feedbacks, no.

 

[craytab]

Not two separate feedbacks, no.

Can one change feedback?

 

[KELAMA]

I thought this was put to bed, but I guess not. After I left the neutral feedback for Mike he went and changed his positive feedback to neutral.

I guess that’s simply further proof of his character.

^ It is!
I'd already added this impatient worrywart, to my never do business/ignore list. His retaliatory actions, further proves, just how disconnected he is from having any sense of normalcy. What kind of person (buyer), calls PayPal within the first 24 hours and opens up a case??? YGTBFKM!

Good grief, too comical.

You're a real piece of work.

No, your actions here, say a lot about you.

 

[KELAMA]

I've made my decision, and will be leaving neutral feedback. I'm locking this thread.

FWIW: After you closed this thread up with this update, I thought that the neutral feedback rating, was fitting. Now, I feel a negative rating is more deserving.

Thank goodness, I've somehow dodged this type of crazy, in all the great/positive transaction I've had here...don't ask me how!

 

[Boru13]

NO... the neutral feedback was left for the transaction, not for what happened after.

 

[craytab]

NO... the neutral feedback was left for the transaction, not for what happened after.

I'm a bit confused but no matter. What is up in the feedback now is Mike going back and leaving a retaliatory negative comment in the positive feedback that he already left. He also complained he could not tell his side of the story. Well Mike Pierson now is your chance.

The feedback I removed was neutral with basically negative comments.

Okay. Just so I'm clear, was that a new feedback score or what? It's been a long day and I'm not following between all the noise. I don't see how one can change feedback so it must be, right?

 

[Peter Hartwig]

OP deserved the positive feedback in his handling of the transaction. He was very patient in handling this matter. If allowed I would give him a 2nd in his opening this thread to ask rather than act on emotion.
I can understand why the credit card Co. played along with Mike-that's the way they are, but I am rather disappointed PP did. The OP didn't even need to mail in 24 hrs. and they should have told him to wait until at least the estimated delivery date before filing IMO

The seller got the item to you in 2 days time from the date he updated you to say it was shipped. He provided you with tracking data. USPS did not follow through with scans but did show an acceptance update. That is not the fault of the seller. He held up his end. How that goes from positive to neutral feedback with negative comments is beyond me. I get that people want instant gratification but don't understand when it's not within reason.

 

[Fodderwing]

I know it’s too late now. But I gotta say it anyhow. Mike, you messed up. And yet, because you were courteous and polite even as you were messing up this could have still ended on a good note for you. The OP is right and you are wrong.

To argue that fact is an exercise in poor decision making. Yes you should stand up for yourself and yes you should defend yourself but ONLY when you are right.

A simple - “Hey guys I was a bonehead on this deal”’ “I’m sorry”. That’s all it would have taken to be history.
