I am having problems with someone who has taken a very long time to send me my materials. Long story not needed here. Will I give her a negative no, Will I buy from her again never. Not a lot of money (I guess) to me it is a lot of money for I do not have lots. I have lots of wonderful people I have met buying nothing but a fat square. So how does one really balance it all out. What may be negative to one is not to another. I fully enjoy all people here and what this board represents. We all have different taste and difference feelings. (((hugs))) to all.

I do look at them, but mostly out of courousity (too much ebaying), but I love submitting and getting feedback. Like to see what they have sold before so maybe if interested can watch for additional items.

This is an interesting topic to me as I think FB can be an indication on trustworthyness. We tend to get comfortable with people on forum's after awhile but we really don't know each other across the net.
I don't usually sell much but did put a few things out there... well, one person didn't get their book. It was mailed with several other's and as far as I know she still hasn't received it two months later.
She wrote me asking for her money back, I had no problem with this request but she did come across angry, demanding to me. I noted her attitude on the FB. After all, I didn't purposely keep her money or not mail the book to her. She was upset that I made a comment on it.
Now, there was a different person looking for a book on the forum and I had it and offered it. When I offered it, there was never a reply... I think she was contacted by this person to not work with me. That too is ok but...tell me, how would you handle this?
It all seems pretty childish to me..

I never look. I've bought and swapped with wonderful people but have to admit I'm remiss in leaving feedback for them. Know it isn't an excuse but I don't even know how to do it :?

Wow, I'm guilty of not giving feedback....didn't even know it existed. I bought a book from someone and was totally appreciative. I don't have pay-pay and she was super friendly and emailed all the info I needed. She also kept me up to date on progress of transaction. Being fairly new to the board I just jumped in and obviously, I don't know the rules. My gal was/is super to buy from. I'd do it again.
