I will think twice in the future before leaving negative feedback for someone who has scammed me, because I know I'll get my feedback rating dinged if I do. Might be better to just walk away. ---------------------- Clip ------------------ Think about this! You can very easily get the same low quality on E bay as you get at Lowes, Sam's, Wal Mart, Sears, Fry's Electronics. The retailers have addressed the problems by enlarging their "Defective Merchandise" departments or put them right at the entry of each store. In Effect they don't deny the poor quality they sell. They have tried to offset the poor quality by a liberal return policy with very few demanding questions. I personally believe that anybody selling junk (as quality), cheating folks or lying about their items deserves a good zinger to alert other buyers of the potential of being unhappy themselves. I have written E bay many times requesting that they place a required field on the posting form to indicate the country of origin so I could avoid buying Chinese made products.
