To Neg or Not to Neg
 

Won a coin on eBay from a seller in Toronto Canada (I'm in the USA (NY)).
After charging me $10 for "Express Mail", this dealer sat on his ass for a week
before mailing the coin, which then took another 10 days to get here.
To top it off, the coin was poorly packed and the slab had scotch tape residue
all over it from were it was taped to a thin piece of cardboard in the envelope.
Now a positive eBay feedback is out of the question but I can't decide whether
to give this jerk a neutral or a negative feedback.
He currently has a 100% positive rating, yet I feel other collectors should be
warned about this guy.
I paid immediately and this joker couldn't be bothered to leave me positive
feedback.

I saw case simular to yours where the buyer wanted to give the seller
a break
by just posting a neutral feedback with restrained comments/insults.
The seller responded with a neg. feedback and commented that the
person
was a bad ebayer. The seller got revenge on earlier neg. feedbacks by
slamming
this new guy.

I've bought a lot of stuff off of Ebay from sellers that had major
character defects.
Many times their attitude is that you owe them something more than
just
the price of the product, namely how they can somehow make ebay their
sole
source of income.

A little Windex will remove the scotch tape residue.

It doesn't dull the finish?

I actually use tape (such as 2" wide masking tape) for removing sticky
residue from slabs or other items. Just repeatedly press a strip down
and pull it back up and a bit of residue comes up with each pull. Nine
out of ten times the end result is a clean surface that isn't
scratched or dulled.

Not that I've ever notice, but I do try and avoid the Windex or window
cleaner from getting near the cracks on the edges of the slabs. They
are not completely water proof. You might even try using a razor blade
like when removing wall paper.

Better yet, why not give negative feedback to idiots who put tape on slabs?

Why not contact the person through ebay messaging and explain the
issue. Tell him that it is an unacceptable practice, and ask for him
to return the shipping charges as a penalty for ruining the slab. If
he refuses, neg him.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply wipe the reside off with some GOOF OFF or
the like and then forget about it-- unless you expect to bid on other
auctions from the same person. Then if you win, tell him to avoid putting
tape on the slab. If THAT doesn't work, see Reality's final solution.

Why oh why has Finnan not put a bullet through his brain yet?
I know.
1) He's afraid he might mess up this suicide attempt as badly as he
did the last one. Only this time he will be even more of a vegetable if
that is possible.
2) I doubt there is enough of a brain there to do any damage.

Sellers need to be able to leave feedback. I dont
sell many but am tired of the Shananigans.

Some sellers need to quit whining and certainly need to stop charging their
buyers for gas to get to the post office. Your shipping charges don't sound
too bad (or is that just convenient for the post?), but IT IS USUALLY
CHEAPER to ship 2 or more items together, which is why a great many sellers
use this fact to try and get multiple sales from customers, passing the
savings onto them.
