Archie - This has nothing to do with "getting back" at the seller, or "about getting one's pound of flesh" as you put it. It has to do with keeping eBay as honest as possible. Both the buyer and the seller violated eBay rules in completing this transaction, of this there is no doubt. For that reason, it's pointless to involve eBay with a complaint about this transaction. The seller initiated the rules violation, by asking for, and receiving additional money (yes, one lousy buck) for an additional chip (outside of the eBay auction). AFTER sending this seller numerous emails, calling him, and giving him several weeks to respond, if he still won't refund the additional money or send the chip, he does deserve negative feedback (in my opinion, of course). Again, members of eBay that use the feedback system, but are afraid to leave negative feedback when warranted, do a disservice to all other members of eBay. Without calling attention (through the feedback system) to the fact that a seller was dishonest, you are not alerting the other members of eBay to a problem. Isn't keeping eBay as honest as possible the business of every member of eBay? This sure isn't something eBay itself will ever do on it's own. I think my viewpoint is shared by many other member of eBay. For example, I see a lot of postings on this very message board from various "Chip Police" concerning misleading, or downright dishonest eBay chip auctions. Whenever a fantasy chip is being sold as a "rare valuable" chip, watch out, the "Chip Police" will bring this to our attention. I thank, and applaud the "Chip Police", as they are doing something and helping to keep eBay as honest as possible. If something isn't right, do something about it! One lousy buck today might be a hundred bucks tomorrow.
