That has been my way of dealing with NAD's in the past but I have reached the
point, because I get more and more of them, where I no longer feel it is the
way to do it. Heck it's not like I am a high volume ebayer where the averages
eventually catch up with you either. The seller is responsible for his listing.
At the minimum a NAD costs buyers time and frustration, sometimes a few bucks
if the seller will not refund postage (I firmly believe that in the case of NAD
that is only fair, other reasons like DOA or something maybe the shipping
companies fault and the seller should not be held responsible for both ways,
but should pay the return shipping.
Not having a clue about what you are doing is not an excuse. It is not like the buyer
gets to handle it and look it over first, I have not noticed any ebay sellers will to
ship "on approval" in which case I would have no problem with paying the actual
shipping costs.
In the case of the Polaroid film holder, I was hoping the seller would have responded
with an "I am sorry" and a promise to try and do better in the future. He
hasn't, so he is going to get a neutral feedback. I do not feel he was deliberately
trying to cheat me but he did lie, intentionally or not.

I would wait for the refund and then give the seller an *excellent*
feedback.
Making a mistake is easy but not all sellers are willing to make it
right.
Some of the worst sellers might even have accused you of "switching"
the 52 for a 49 and THEN asking for a refund!
Your seller sounds very honest and willing to do right.

Subject: EBay question (yet another)
Hi!
I bought a 52 mm Pentax Ghostless UV filter off eBay for $20 including
shipping to Israel. What I received was a very clean 49 mm filter with
one little strange defect. It rattles inside its barrel. That is, it is
not fixed in it.
Immediately after I paid, the seller left me a positive feedback.
When I wrote to the seller that I have some problems with the item they
offered me full refund upon receiving the filter back. I am going to
accept that offer.
The question is, what kind of feedback should I leave? Should I wait
until I receive full refund and only then leave the feedback?
I am puzzled as it is the very first time in my practice that I received
an item rather different than it was originally described.
What's rather amusing here is that the plastic box and paper box are
both from 52 mm filter...
What do you say?
Thanks.
Boris
