I’ve learned a lot from earlier mistakes and have not received neg response in over a year; even the ones I did get as a beginner seller were defensible and in all cases customer received full refund PLUS the items that were shipped…there is a “garage sale” culture element on I’ve noticed, where Some people don’t want to pay anywhere near the value of items and are impossible to please. I won’t go further than to say I’m a better seller than my rating and have had 100% positive response for the last year +.
