He does seem a bit bullish or overbearing. Cornering the market in Bloodstone Passes seems to have worked for him - it makes him rich, which is what he's doing it for in the first place. Hard-nose tactics, but it's the real world and that's what people do. In fact, that's what we might do in our other fantasy world as well.!

I suspect that is the notification that you got. It appears that he really didn't do anything offensive to you. Actually, he seemed to accommodate all of your requests. Maybe not in as timely a manner as would be desired, but he does deal with a lot of auctions.

Asking me for feedback after he paid, when he does not do the same is kind of hmm... "tacky" in my opinion too. Bear in mind I had already paid him by the time he asked that and was still getting a "complaint filed against you" message every time I logged onto eBay.pleveich

We were sorting a deal on a few other things, so it never got sent to him for nearly a month, by agreement because of that. I also mentioned to him, that while i normally leave my feedback when i am shipping an item (ie first), i would not do this with Coug, as it was his policy to have the buyer leave feedback first, so i would also do it that way. He was cool with that and as soon as he received the item, he left feedback for me very promptly, to which i also did. Plev: did you transaction take place via paypal? only reason i ask, is that sometimes, you DON'T get notified of the payment, and when you have hundreds of other transactions taking place, it can be pretty damn hard to find one of them. i have had someone pay me via paypal, i didnt get notified and ebay didnt say it was paid either. that thankfully, worked out in the end, but i was totally under the impression at the time, that i was just being messed about!It could have just been a mis-understanding you know...it DOES happen.... anyway...back to more important matters....trying to find my oldest JG book.....Al

So it's easy enough to find out if the buyer has paid via this method. The fact is that normally, Cougie wants you to leave him feedback first in all cases (buying and selling) and badgers you until it is done. I have a feeling things worked out differently for you because of the reciprocal deal you had going, but his is the classic case of feedback selfishness.Mike B.
