[Amps] Bad tubes from ebay, update

[Robert B. Bonner]

A potential negative feedback should bring in a negotiating team from eBay
and the situation negotiated to a successful finish or permanent deletion of
the seller.

They should earn their money at eBay.

I did some investigating on exland on eBay.  I have found feedback ratings 
of less than 99% or so are
very bad so when I see 95% for exland it would make me really think twice 
about doing business with him.  Here's why:
Many people (me included) will not write a negative feedback on someone.  
The only advantage I see in doing that is an attempt to get even with the 
guy or possibly use it as a threat if you are still in negotiation.  And I 
see that exland does not give feedback until he receives it.  In my opinion 
a seller should give positive feedback as soon as the buyer pays for the 
purchase.  But many sellers do not - they wait to see if they get negative 
feedback.  Then they give negative feedback in return.  So if you were a 
buyer who was unhappy and you give neg feedback, voila! a day later you have

your first negative feedback, and you are perfectly innocent.  Read exlands 
feedback history and see where he got negatives, and then go look at the 
customers feedback and you will see innocent customers got zinged by exland.

  I have a 100% positive score on eBay, and I would rather have it stay 100%

than get in a urinating contest with a seller like exland.  eBays feedback 
system is very heavily flawed.  If it was a fair system, exlands score would

probably be much lower because cowards like me would give him the real 
rating he deserves.
But discussions, and revealing the truth as in this forum are very valuable,

and readers should benefit from them.  I know I do and I thank you guys for 
bringing your stories out.
