...but it's 10:45, my son is still awake, I have STILL not done my taxes and I feel like someone clocked me today.
Let's just say my strategy for getting this negative feedback withdrawn involves a brand spanking new pair of jeans and a lot of grovelling. I want my 100% back and I'm getting that feedback withdrawn and if I have to go to the moon and back to get it done.
My brother said something to me the other day I thought I would mention, because it seems to echo the sentiments of some of my other friends and family. My brother thinks my eBaying is "entertainment." I actually like to think of it as my own small business. I don't have the capital to start a "real" business, but I do have enough inventory to experiment with business strategy on eBay. My eBay store is my dry run as an entrepreneur, so I take it very seriously. It's not a hobby or a passtime, and while I certainly do enjoy doing it as I've mentioned in the past, it's not "entertainment."
I've got some cool now items I'm putting up tonight and an awesome game I want to start playing with my readers, but I think we're going to have to hold off until I've sent off my taxes to talk about that!

Do you honestly think it's worth a brand new pair of designer jeans? That's going to cost a good portion of your earnings thus far! Try something else first.
Oh, sorry, I should have clarified. They weren't designer jeans - they only cost $35 and a few extra dollars to ship.
Here's how I think about it. When you have as few transactions as I do on eBay (remember, I have fewer than 50 stars so far) many customers will hesitate to buy from you. Worse still, when you've got few transactions AND negative feedback, your appeal as a seller takes a huge hit. I'm certain if I don't have that feedback removed my revenue stream will certainly suffer, so in the end I have more to lose by not getting the feedback withdrawn than what the jeans cost new.
We'll see if it works out. If it doesn't, at least I'll feel good about the fact that I did my best to rectify the situation.
