Some years ago, after paying for a card that I had won on EBay, waiting several weeks for its arrival and getting no responses to my inquiring emails to the seller, I left him negative feedback. That evoked an immediate response. Seems his fiance had been in the hospital and his partner had been screwing up the shipping (as he had sold maybe a half dozen small ticket cards in the several months that had elapsed in the year, why a partner was necessary, I don't know, but that's another issue). Anyway, he apologized for the delay and said he would send along the card when I had removed the neg. I (more or less) patiently explained that since the reason for the neg was that I had not received the card, to remove the neg while still not having received the card, would make me something of a moron. Impressed by my logic, he sent the card along, but it's hard to forget when someone attempts to play you for such a schnuck.
