I've done just over 200 transactions and still holding at 100% +ive. Not had one bad deal. Closest I came was buying a lump of dust with some metal and glass attached masquerading as a lens. I contacted the seller and we agreed a 20% refund and I would have it cleaned. I am *very* fussy about who I buy from. If there's any neg feedback in the profile, I will investigate it thoroughly, including emailing previous customers. Usually I walk away. If it's a high value item, I establish contact before the auction's end with a throwaway question, just to see how on the ball they are. Any poor reactions or illiteracy throws up a warning. Of course, they could just be having a bad day, but my default is to leave it be if I smell a rat. Another item will be along in good time ;-) So far I have not been burned either buying or selling and enjoying it immensely.
