Is this ebay feedback appropriate?

[Jewish-collector]

What I do in this situation is (before giving feedback) to contact the seller & tell him that another buyer might not be as nice as I am & may give him a poor feedback. Depending on how he responds back is how I determine what feedback I would give him.

What bothers the hell out of me is when the seller charges $4 for shipping and ships the card wrapped up in a piece of paper in a regular envelope with a stamp.

Feedback was accurate, could have possibly contacted seller first though. How much anyone pays for shipping seems irrelevant b/c you have an obligation via ebay to pack item appropriately as a seller, and buyer was not given option for better shipping.

This happened to me once over a year ago when I was selling some things for the first time. I sold some militaria and I sent something to a buyer in a an envelope with no padding. The item was unharmed but the buyer left positive feedback but said he did not approve of the way I shipped it. I responded with an apology and I owned up to my mistake. This seller's response is really crappy, he should own up to his mistake.

I once received three cards, no penny sleeve, in a PWE. One of the cards was an Old Judge which probably protected the two other tobacco cards. I ripped open the side of the envelope and all three cards slipped out of the envelope and dropped onto the floor. There was nothing else in the envelope.

I completely disapprove of charging no shipping, then packing this way. I'm sure the seller does this to attract higher bids and to avoid low shipping star ratings. You left the right feedback.

you did the right thing. in my opinion, you have no obligation to inform the seller before you leave your feedback. the feedback system is in place principally for other buyers, so i think that the warning to others that might bid/buy from this person is appropriate.

also, his writing you back with an insult should reinforce to you that you did the right thing.
