After you collect more info a negative may be warranted but not simply because an error was made. Those instances where the card gets relisted at higher values obviously warrants a negative as does someone where this happens repeatedly.

Mostly agree with this statement. I accidentally listed a large lot of vintage Star Wars toys with a $9.99 BIN...it was supposed to be an auction. When you use ebay's listing software it always stays with the last template you used, I forgot I had listed some postcards with BINs. The person who hit the BIN was not happy when I told him that it was clearly a mistake, but he told me he was going to sue me, that ebay's listings were a contract, et cetera. I apologized, but he still left me a negative for what was CLEARLY a mistake. The lot ended up selling for over $500 when I relisted it correctly.
