Hi Steve ~
The way eBay works, you can't leave a negative feedback AND get
reimbursed on a bad purchase by eBay's Buyer Protection. The
unsatisfactory transaction is technically cancelled as though it never
happened to begin with.
Even the posting below acknowledges (despite the positives) that the
item could have been packed better, had additional (incorrectly
mounted?) hardware, and he agrees that the seller was rude. And yet,
he probably left a positive feedback.
I think there must be dozens, if not hundreds of dissatisfied buyers
who would rather be made whole again financially on their
misrepresented/badly packed/damaged/modified or incomplete purchase,
than take a loss and retain the ability to leave negative feedback on
this seller, and thus warn others away from a potentially miserable
experience.
I'm ordinarily very careful about saying anything publicly about
anyone that isn't positive (if you can't say something nice...), but
based on personal experience, both my own and that of my friend and
customer, I can only conclude that this seller is dangerous. He
certainly doesn't appear to make any effort to "play by the same rules".
That's my take on it.

If you look at his ratings they are actually quite good.
Hi all! I'll be be honest and say I have dealt with this
individual in the past. I guess I'll provide a contrarian view to
those experiences posted thus far. I purchased an Edison machine
from him and it was packed relatively well. It could have been
better, but all was safe. The machine was exactly as stated, but
came with some extra mounting screws and springs to mount the
motor to the motor board, so I'm sure someone got screwed (pun
intended). I must agree that he was somehat a rude individual, but
not so much that it really bothered me as he shipped very fast and
everything was actually great! I just thought I'd provide another
view of just my experience. I would not necessaril recommend him,
but my transcation ended well thankfully after reading these
posts. I do not recall his name, but I looked his phone number up
and found the following information for those who wish to dig
deeper.
