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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.
