My mini MUHHAAAHAHAAA of this week goes sorta like this: ... about a month and a half ago, 250-ish feedback buyer buys a $5 antique at ebay from us ... pays by paypal promptly ... i try to find the item to package it up ... it's lost ... i hit refund button at Paypal, and go into detail within the message area, as to profuse-apology and details to him as to how this happnes to me once in awhile amidst thousands of antiques we're tryin' to sell blah blah, ... and i tell him as soon as the item shows itself to me, i will send it to him for free. ... .... here 6 wks. or so later, he leaves me a "Neutral feedback: Lost Item After Close of Sale! Refunded My Money - Waiting for Dealer to Find!" [and no, the cheap little tobacciana item has not been unearthed yet] .... well, i sat there just a bit [only a little bit] ticked, about seein' a black font Neut crop up on my 'card' ... so every day, when i check my feedback remarks, i see that dumb little fresh black "1" right there in the current column ...... I decide, hmmmm... I want to leave him nice factual feedback too, over this 'no big deal' "item" ... so I left this on his "Neutral : Thanks for your understanding!...we will ship this free of charge when found" .... MUHHAAAAHAAHAAAAAA! ...
