Which you won't know until after the deal is well completed. ;-)
eBay's feedback system isn't always an accurate indicator of future
actions either. I've had problems with people having hundreds of positive
feedback and no negs as well as the proverbial newbie with less than ten
feedback.
The negative feedback is less than perfect because a number of people
choose to say nothing rather than risk the chance of getting a retaliatory
negative after leaving a negative comment.
Again, the systems generally work correctly. Only Mr. Leonard can decide
if his situation will withstand a worst-case scenario. We would be remiss
however if we didn't indicate that there might be some worst cases and what
some of those worst cases might be.
What you choose to do as a hobby is different than what you choose to do
if you were trying to raise cash when unemployed. The former is a major
irritation, while the latter could be financially devastating.
