My opinion? That's crooked. I new a fellow once who liked to 'try things before buying them'. He'd go to Target (a large department store chain the US) and buy expensive things, knowing that they had a 30-day no-questions-asked warrantee. He'd return it on day 29, whether he liked it or not, whether he used it or not.
Threatening someone with a negative feedback after using it for nearly 90 days? Another example of why I won't sell anything on eBay anymore. I have zero respect for anyone who would do that. -------Original Message------- > From: "Joaquim Carvalho" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Opinions wanted, ebay item condition > Sent: 15 Jun 2005 13:49:06 > > VG+ is not bad and these ratings are subjective... > Use it for a while and after a month or two if it's not good ask for a > refund, you have three months to give (bad) feedback and someone who has > 100% positive will not want a negative.
