It is pretty crappy to retaliate... My first negative was a retaliation from someone called Disneymom... I think she lost her happy thoughts...
That is still no excuse for his retalitory feedback practices tho. I waited about 2 months for an item which eventually did arrive - left a neutral feedback (which was generous IMO from the extended ship time and general uncommunicativeness of his emails) and got a neutral in return when I paid the day I won the damn auction!

There is always SOMEONE who will bid on most items if they look like a bargain.Cheers,Karen
