Eric,
Good to hear you're getting settled in. If you ever get homesick for
Arizona, you're welcome to come stay at my place. I even have a lawn mower
you can use to show me your newly developed talent;-)
Oh....one more thing...I almost forgot. I agree with you about the Ebay
feedback issue.
Best,
John Gwilliam

Hey I'll fess up, I am the dealer in question. I find feedbacks to
be a pain in the butt, a waste of time and in the grand scheme of things
virtually worthless. As a result I do feedbacks in a big batch every 2-3
months (sometimes longer).
When I am buying it doesn't matter to me if the seller has a feedback
rating of 15 or 150 or 15,000. If I look at a feedback it is only to
look at the negatives to see why they were given, I don't bother looking
at any of the positives at all. I pay zero attention to who has or has
not given me feedback and rarely look at my own feedback.
Walter Newton's emails have been a whole lot politer than some who
seem to feel that because they gave me a positive feedback that I "owed"
them one in return, immediately. I don't ask for feedbacks and just
because someone gives me one there is no requirement or "duty" on my part
to respond in kind. However I usually do - eventually. Yes, I know
that if I did feedbacks more frequently I wouldn't get emails nagging me
to reciprocate for the feedback they gave me. What can I say, sometimes
the emails prod me into doing a batch of feedbacks and sometimes they
don't. Repeated emails are guaranteed never to get me in the mood to do
feedbacks.
As far as loading 20+ auctions on monday, since moving to North
Carolina I have no paying job and eBay pays the house mortgage. That
makes loading things on eBay a priority, even over getting the house
squared away. It puts feedback way down on the list well below mowing
the lawn, something I did the other day for the first time in 12 years
and which needs doing again.
Hang in there Walter, I will get to them eventually.

this might seem overly harsh, but I would think that maybe he hasnt left
feedback because he thinks you are pestering him on the issue. 'numerous
emails' seems to be a bit above and beyond the call for wanting feedback
posted within a 3 week timespan. I could understand if he never sent you
your purchase, but all those mails just because he never left feedback?
just from my own perspective, as both a buyer and seller on ebay i normally
leave feedback in large groups. maybe once a month, or even longer depending
on my useage. Also dont forget that 3 weeks is still well within the time
period where you might decide you arent happy with the transaction and it
could go belly up. feedback should be left when both parties are happy with
how the deal concluded. 3 weeks may be too soon for the seller to feel safe
in doing this.
just my 2 cents.>
