I paid $9 for it on half and they paid $27 to send me a brand new book (the receipt was included), now that is customer service and satisfaction.

That's crazy... but like the person who said they got their item directly from Walmart.com, do you suspect it might have been a case of a stolen credit card?

I hope not and I called Amazon to double check and the seller used their credit card and they have alot of positives on both half and amazon.

Over the past week, I got all my books, games, and cds I ordered. Everything looked like the condition it was listed in. Now to go give positive feedback to all of them. This code was so awesome!

I do have to say....I sold about 9 games this past month (maybe cause of the free shipping) and only one person posted feedback. It really irks me cause I go out of my way to make sure everything is perfect in the transaction. And I don't sell a lot so I need that feedback in order to hopefully sell more.

Part of the problem may be that new accounts have a 5 day waiting period after activating them for feedback purposes. And to activate new accounts for feedback, eBay has to call you with a PIN number. People who created several new accounts for this deal may not bother with all of that.

Send them a friendly reminder message - seriously. I have done this.

Just a simple "Feedback please! Thanks!" would suffice.

In my opinion, an approach that I think works well for most sellers I've dealt with is for them to follow up with an e-mail to ensure everything is satisfactory. And then to say something in the line of, "If you're happy with your purchase, please leave positive feedback."

Some word it better than others, but the general gist is to extend the reminder while also ensuring the buyer is happy. If they're not, then at least they have the opportunity to talk to the buyer about it.

I got all my items from 4 accounts but 1 dude sent me the wrong item and now it turned into a mess where the seller is saying that he will report me to ebay because "I threatened him". A claim was promptly filed with half.com and a copy of his email was included because this seller is going crazy. All of this for a $4 CD... I know. What a douche.

Is it a good CD?

It's too bad this is over... since then, I've found 5 games I want but shipping kills any type of deal.

What did you say to him that he construed as a threat?

Probably something non-confrontational, like "I'm gonna fukken stab you and burn your bushes and piss on your patio if I don't get my stuff, jerk!"

Just kidding, oasisboy!
