TRADE

Had my first dissatisfying eBay trade last week. Some spare glass doorknobs from New York. They took ages to arrive, but that wasn’t really the problem as we weren’t in a rush. Spares, see. However, when they turned up they were too small and quite damaged. I decided to discuss it with the seller in a grown up way, via email exchange rather than by tit-for-tatting adverse ratings for each other. So we sort of agreed to disagree offline and gave each other reasonable scores. Is this the right thing to do, or is this devaluing eBay’s trader rating system?

Anyway, as we can’t use these knobs I’m thinking of sticking them back up on eBay. Some silly sod’ll buy’em.
