update from eBay land
So after the Lamp Seller left me negative feedback ("DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS BUYER! RECEIVED ITEM IN 7 DAYS AND LEFT BAD FEEDBACK!" -- which, ew, LIES, and I commented that he'd promised to ship within two days of receiving payment, instead shipped eight days after receiving payment, and I left NEUTRAL feedback -- but I'm not prepared to go through the whole Process of having things removed, because who cares that much?), my feedback score is -1, because I use eBay so vanishingly seldom. No biggie, right? Except that I go to buy something with a Buy It Now button, and I can't, because the seller has automatically excluded people with negative star ratings.
Fucking argh.
Fortunately, I am allowed to contact the seller and try to work something out. So I do, promising that I'm a decent buyer but infrequent user and this one seller was upset that I'd left him neutral feedback about how he never answered a single communication; and she got back to me within two hours to say she'd added me to the approved-buyer list and I should be able to go ahead. And I double-checked with her the shipping cost, which wasn't listed, and then went ahead and bought the thing, and paid immediately, and she sent me a message letting me know she'd received the payment, and then another message this morning that the thing had shipped.
Fucking YAY!
It's nice to have a positive experience to take the bad taste out of your mouth, no? I just hope she leaves me a positive feedback to bring my score back to 0, because if there are automatic consequences to negative numbers, that I can live without. (I won an auction three or four years ago where I left the seller positive feedback and she never left me a thing. If only! This recent yutz's negative wouldn't have caused me that much trouble.)
