Yeah it's higher than average....but I have a WIDE range of purchase preferences.Between my truck,sled,street bike,two KX's,buying funny/obscene T-shirts and sweatshirts,PS3 games...and 8 1/2 years..I think it's about right :-D

As for the feedback...I left negative feedback once back when I first started using it in 04.I never took the "Estimated Delivery Time" into consideration,and an item I bought took alot longer than the ETA.Since then,I've always left Positive..providing everything is/went good with the transaction/purchase.If not...I'll e-mail the seller to try and make things right,and so far,I've always had good luck doing this....fortunately I've only had to twice.

Yup I'm one of the azzholz who dont leave feedback, just because a seller can't leave neutral or negative feedback. Even when you could it was a double edge sword. Right now feedback is used to tax sellers on their listing fee's with the 4 star program. People are never 100% satisfied with "anything" so ebay uses the 3 stars & less to charge the sellers more in listing fee's. If it worked I'd do it but it really is just BS like alot of personal opinions on the internet.

That sucks!!....I ALWAYS pay the SECOND I click "Buy It Now"...from the time I click "Buy It Now",till my e-mail from Pay-Pal comes through,is less than a minute.
Compared to you,I'm just a tiny pi$$-ant on e-bay,with only 521 for a score...but my feedback is 100%.Granted,I'm not running a business on there either....I'm just a random buyer.

i do the same thing foxx4. i see no reason to wait to pay. if i buy something i want it now, i don't think the seller should have to wonder if they need to relist the item again. just pay now and remember to leave feedback. in fact i think ebay should force you to leave feedback before you can make another purchase. of course i realize that could be problematic, but i think something similar could be implimented. not sure if i stated that right but i think you guys get the jist of what i'm saying

a month ago i lost the one and only key i had for my snowmachine, so i bought a new ignition set on ebay. that same day, i found the missing key in the bed of my truck. i contacted the seller and explained what happened and asked if we could cancel the order. he was cool with that and i told him to keep the shipping cost so that he could cover the cost of relisting the item. he appreciated the gesture but refused to keep the shipping fee and said "stuff happens and thats ok, i hope to see you purchase something else from our store in the future" . thats a great seller and i wish all ebay sellers were like that.

sandblaster:
That is a good seller.
Here is a general template as to how we handle these cases:

Hello.
Yes, we can help you with this.
Here is how it works.
We will have eBay send you a notice to cancel the transaction.
Once you receive the notice from eBay you will need to AGREE to cancel the transaction.
Only you can cancel the transaction, we can't do it from our end.
If you do not agree to cancel the transaction eBay will give you an unpaid item strike against your account.
There is nothing we can do to prevent it if you do not agree to cancel it.
So please, AGREE to cancel the transaction.
No restocking fees or transactions fees are necessary.
If you have any questions feeel free to email us or call us at 541-603-2993.
Thanks!
OEM-CYCLE

It's amazing how many people ask to cancel a transaction, and then never AGREE to cancel it once they get the notice.
All they have to do it click on the AGREE button one time and yet they never AGREE to do it...
Geeze Louise!!! Just AGREE !!!  :-D
