-1 crisis
I arranged to buy his DSi XL bundle last night, and he agreed that becasue he had low feedback I could send enough to cover shipping costs and that the rest would be due on receipt of the item in the condition described.
crisis wrote:$22 will get it to you by Friday. I'd prefer that so we can close this transaction ASAP.
I sent him $22 PayPal last night, and this morning he refunded it. He explained that

What the hell?!
I spent about an hour this morning taking and uploading pictures of my DS Lite and writing a description to sell it. I told my wife that she'd soon have a nice new way of playing her favorite DS games. Granted, these developments weren't crisis' doing, but every other time I have arranged a purchase or trade on here the person has gone through with it. The fact that this transaction was so different from what is standard on the forums warrants a -1 in my book.
I'll add that he told me not to leave negative feedback.
crisis wrote:The bottom line is this: I gave it thought, and in my gut, I did not feel comfortable shipping something with no payment received. If you give me negative feedback, I will do the same thing...I am not going to be punished for something that isn't my problem. Please govern yourself accordingly.
I am not sure what he'd give me negative feedback for other than as retaliation for leaving him negative feedback. As far as I am concerned, feedback should account for the results of material items (money, games, etc.) being sent/received.
If the rest of you think I am over-reacting I'll consider changing the mark. I feel that negative mark is justified, though, and that it helps warn people against someone who is clearly difficult to deal with.
) - trade was smooth and hassle free.
