Had one seller tell me there was a family emergency that delayed shipping a week, (after the fact), and I gave him a positive rating. I appreciate the truth. I guess I'm too picky, but I don't like to be lied to. If they tell me that there is a holdup, I'm ok with it. If they tell me it shipped and it didn't (and they should know better), I'm suspicious.
Like I said, could be me. I've done a lot of business on Ebay and been very happy most of the time.

Expecting someone to be honest with you when doing business with them is certainly NOT being picky. Do unto others.....
I went through a similar situation around Thanksgiving with a company I had never done business with before. On their web site they claimed an average lead time of 1-3 weeks for their service. After exchanging several emails with the owner, he told me that they were pretty busy and to expect a 2-4 week turn around for my part to be finished. After
7 1/2 weeks I finally got my part returned. I truly
believe that from day one, he
knew full well that he would not get the work done for me in the 3-4 weeks that he quoted me. I don't like being lied to either, but I have no way of proving my suspicions. He came highly recommended based on several internet sources, so I didn't say anything about it. If I would have been told
up front it
might be two months time - it would not have even been an issue.
After all of that, I now find that although his work looks good at first glance (hard coat anodizing) - it is not durable
at all which is the reason for using his service in the first place!
Some days you just can't win.
Wasn't there another ebay seller that everyone seemed to have problems with? I think he recently changed his username again?
toolsforcheap? or Eric(something)???? I think you had mentioned him in the past Nelson. :headscratch:
