  5. Re:Huh? on eBay to Drop Negative Feedback on Buyers · · Score: 1

    Maybe I didn't make it clear. The seller stated he would have lowered the fees if I had asked before, but since I asked after he wouldn't allow it. That doesn't make business sense. You just got yourself a one purchase customer instead of returning customer. He could have lowered it $3 and I would have been satisfied, purchased from him in the future making him more money. Believe me I understand the concept of "handling" and have no problem with it. It's the poor business attitude and the negative feedback retaliation to the neutrals I left, which are clearly against the spirit of Feedback.

  6. Re:Huh? on eBay to Drop Negative Feedback on Buyers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I had a seller refuse to combine shipping after I had purchased two items. He said he would have if I had asked before purchasing. The package arrived with $1.00 of postage for which I had paid $12.00 I didn't think highly of this and left him two neutral feedbacks. He left me a negative and a neutral to "teach me a lesson". After a month of back and forth emails he agreed to remove the negative feedback, but never once thought he was in the wrong. This is the scenario where the feedback system falls apart.

  7. Re:More driving? on Is Daylight Saving Shift Really Worth It? · · Score: 1

    Not only is it more driving, but more low-sun-to-the-horizon-in-the-morning driving. The sun was just high enough Friday where it didn't interfere with my ability to see clearly, but now I get to start the whole process of whapping myself in the face on occasion with the visors while I adjust it depending on the direction of the sun. It's reasonable that we have to deal with this two to four times a year, up to eight times a year for morning and evening? Come on. I can argue for both DST and non-DST, but I would suggest that it's asinine to switch clocks around.
