okay, so i bid and bought a W&B from mags_44820, with the description being that THE BLADE IS MASSIVE OVER AN INCH WIDE AND 1/4 INCH THICK, AND HAS SOME CORROSION, BUT IS VERY SHARP.
it is thick, and has some corrosion, and it is sharp(aren't they all), but it was barely 7/8 inch wide. part of the reason i bought it was that is was 'OVER' and inch wide. i never leave negative feedback, but i had to at least comment to him personally. so i sent this note.
Afternoon. i received in the mail today item number: 280237972581. it was very well packaged and arrived safe and sound. i went back to your description before leaving feedback and looked at the fact you claimed this razor to be 'over' an inch wide, when in fact it is only 7/8 inches. i like the razor, however part of the reason that i bought it was for the size. i feel that this was misrepresented, however like anything, i took a chance. i will not be returning this as i do like it, just not quite what i thought i was buying.
feedback- i have never left negative feedback, and do not intend to at this point. i think i have my reason, however there will be no benefit to either of us. i would appreciate feedback since i did what was asked of me timely and in the manner required.
thank you again for the sale. i do like the razor, just wish it was a little bigger.
so then i receive the following today.
One of the pictures in ad shows the blade of ths razor on a tape measure, I did not measure it with a set of calipers I guess I will have to start. Regards to feedback I do not leave feedback until it is left for me. Remember when 2 differnt people look at an item each sees it differntly and due to ebays new feedback policy buyers, mainly ones with feedback under 100 think its ok to complain and mention leaving bad feedback or threaten to, in order to get extort sellers. I am honest and try to describe each item as I see it, but another may see it differnt and thats a chance I take. You see I lost 10 bucks on the razor you bought, and I had to buy the packing supplies and the paper and ink in label figure I am out another buck. So do what you think you have too do I wont leave feedback for anyone who leaves me negative and I will turn in the original message to ebay as a feedback policy violation.
are you kidding me? you lost money, and i violated feedback policy? i think you have to either leave feedback or threaten negative feedback to violate anything. my response.
sorry that you did not measure it with calipers, and yes it was on a tape measure, but your specific wording is 'THE BLADE IS MASSIVE OVER AN INCH WIDE'. go back to your listing and see it. i agree that how i see the photo vs someone else may be different, but your english is pretty clear.
if you lost $10 on the shipping, you should have charged more for the S&H, or put a reserve on it.
exactly how did i violate feedback policy with you? i did not threaten to leave you negative feedback. in fact, i said i would not leave you negative feedback. so how did i violate anything? i did not ask for anything other than feedback from you. you don't want to leave it, that's fine. don't do it. the only negative COMMENT i said was that i felt the razor size was misrepresented. so i would like to know what i violated.
this razor will be shave ready by the weekend and as i stated, i like it. i just wish it was bigger, as YOU stated. 'THE BLADE IS MASSIVE OVER AN INCH WIDE '
what an pain. luckily he cannot leave me neg feedback:rant:. he packaged well and shipped fast, but that is not worth the misrepresentation in his description.
