bad experiences buying on line

That’s why I'm using Escrow especially for foreign purchases. Of course it's a not very fast and convenient but everybody protected.

Money has changed hands, negative feedback is certainly warranted.

I need opinions again. The guy who unsold me the Krell unit is sending my money back plus an extra $100. Should I leave feedback? If yes; what should I say? I'm still unhappy about how this went because I really didn't want the money, I wanted the phono section.
Thanks for any insight you can offer. Maybe I should have started a seperate thread for this. Let me know.

Don't even worry about that stuff until you have your money. If you get your money, even +$100, your feedback should describe your experience. Leaving positive feedback because of that would be like accepting a bribe. You deserve, if it is real, the extra money just for your time and trouble alone. He is, as you know, doing you no favors, and is probably still thinking of himself with the $100, concerned only with his feedback. Tough! Should've thought about that before he jerked you around. To be honest, I'm still worried that you're getting a story from this guy. Did he pay to overnight it? Don't let him weasel his way out of the notoriety he's got coming to him. Your feedback can mention the $100 if it's there, but should still be negative all the way. Good luck!

Ahh, hush money, the plot thickens. Option 1, take your expenses, postage, money order, etc. out of the $100.00, return the balance, leave feedback saying that he accepted payment and then sold the gear to someone else and held your money, then be prepared to fight the good fight if he leaves you negative feedback. Option 2, as Woody Allen said, "Take The Money And Run", perhaps the seller has learned the ethical error of his ways and needs a clean start. Option 3, same as option 2 except you send him the balance of the $100.00 back as in option 1. Option 1 would help to protect other members but you may find yourself in a protracted dispute. I would only keep the money only if I could do so with a clear consience. Zaikesman is ultimately correct, no sense in agonizing until the refund check clears your bank.
