Hello, As a seller,I started out leaving positive feedback, once the item was paid for. I got stung a few times , buyers wanting to keep the item, and wanting me to give them a partial refund, threatening negative feedback, etc. After the buyer has had time to view the item in person, and leaves feedback for me, I will leave feedback. If there is a problem with the item, I always offer to have it sent back. Once I receive it in the same condition that I sent it, I will return all costs incurred by the buyer. As a buyer, I will leave positive feedback, and if there is a problem, I will work it out with the seller. I tend to under describe the condition of my items, try not to miss any flaws, package carefully, and ship quickly. I just hit 3700 on the feedback page, at 100%. Good luck to all of my fellow sellers!!!!! Lou
