However, let me make a predicition. The seller will post feedback after you so you can't leave a neutral without dealing with the fear of retaliation.
Customer satisfaction should be a priority when anyone sells anything, it just doesn't happen for some of the sellers on Ebay and elsewhere.
that's what I was hoping to hear. From other auctions I'd seen I thought the wheels alone should be worth that. I guess I'll just take everything regardless. I'm interested to see what he's going to say about the chain though.
As far as feedback, i'm sure you're right. 9 times out of 10 I don't get feedback until I leave it first, either as the seller or the buyer. I mentioned in a thread the other day that its the sellers responsibility to leave feedback as soon as an item is paid for. If the seller is confident of his customer service abilities and his product, he should have nothing to worry about.
Considering its pretty obvious this guy is a bit flaky, I'm sure I wont get any feedback from him until I leave it first, and if I leave anything other than positive I'll get a retaliation negative. Sucks but that's just the way it is.
One thing I've done in the past though, is leave the positive, then when they leave your positive, you can go back and leave a comment under your positive comment and try to tell the real story. It's not as good as leaving a negative or neutral, but at least it's something.
