His heatware eval of me:
-payment was prompt
-however HEAT left was misleading. buyer requested if it was scratched; to the naked eye it was not. However, the buyer found many "micro" scratches on the body when examined closely under a direct bright light. When i held the unit up in my kitched i could see nothing. I asked for a picture and he sent one; it is clear in order to see the "scratches" he had to blow up the image an excessive amount.
The Image is taken on a digital camera. It was not blown up at all. The light was not direct. It was from a ceiling lightbulb. When just exampining the unit outside on an afternoon, I could see scratches from 80% of the angles. I did not have any problems with the scratches, but I put it in my heatware evaluation because its a minor hiccup that I think people should be aware of.
-Buyer has complained at my delayed shipping; i received PayPal on a Friday and shipped Tuesday morning. In my mind a very good turnaround indeed.
Promised to ship on Saturday.Two days late, with no apology, or explanation.Not a dealbreaker, and certainly I didn't complain too much, but I wanted to let everyone know about this little hiccup. Nothing major at all, but if there are 5-6 trades with minor delay posts, then a potential buyer might avoid him because he might not want wait the extra 1 or 2 days. Again I am not calling this person constantly late, and I have not looked at his previous heat to see if there were any other minior delays besides mine, but I am just saying that if in the future, a few more people experience this and post about it, it might help a future buyer who's trying to get his item as fast as possible
-the user and i have exchanged emails to no satisfaction after i told him i would refund his money and he should withdraw his HEAT; he refused to withdraw his HEAT.
I said ok to the refund, but I would not withdraw the heat because that was My experience with this trader. If a troll trolls you but then refunds you, would you not keep the negative? I'm not calling this guy a troll, but I beleive my evaluation told what happened during this transaction, and just because he refunded me the money does not mean that what happened did not happen,
-I resent being called a liar and so have left this long decription...
I am leaving a Neutral review
because:
-buyer did not contact me when he thought there was a problem
No major problems. As I said, I was happy with the Unit, but just a little annoyed that there were scrathces when He said he stared at it for 30 secs but did not see any. NOT a DEALBREAKER. I previously did not have ANY PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER
-buyer complaints about the unit aren't reasonable; he wanted "perfectly brand new" not "used in great condition".
I did not want perfectly brand new. I was happy with the unit I received. The evaulation I posted was just a truthful account of what happened. He said he did not see any scratches when looking closely for 30 secs. I see scratches all over the body looking at it for the first 10 seconds. I was FINE WITH THIS, but just wanted everyone to know about this minor quirk, because it happened to me. Something like this is minor to me, but it might be MAJOR to someone else looking to trade with this person. If I seriously had a problem with the scratches, I would have asked for a refund and returned the Unit.
So basically..he described the transaction with you so others would know about it. You described the transaction with him so others would know about it.
Quit your whining.
Oh and the light was not direct??? I'm a photographer. The light WAS direct....from the flash of your camera....or something. You can't tell me that isn't direct lighting on the face of that ipod shuffle....at least not without lying.
Lol the light was not from the flash of my camera. It was from a celing lightbulb. By direct lighting I Think he meant like a small lamp put directly over the shuffle in order to see the marks. That was not the case.
No...you would not get blown highlights like that unless the light source was very close to the subject as was your camera when you took the shot (camera was held very close and does not do macro focusing very well). To get a small circle of blown highlights like that it would have to be a flash or a close light source...not a celing light. Not saying there wasn't light from the celing light...but the flash is light too and was almost certainly the source of the direct lighting in this photograph.
Nope, I am holding the Shuffle right now and I can see that yellow circle. It is def the celing light, and not the flash.
*sigh* you may see the reflection there...but unless this is a REALLY REALLY horrible camera then it wouldn't be that bright in the picture without additional light.
BTW - I just found your LOCKED thread berating the guy. You said he promised to ship on Saturday and here is what his PM says:
"paypal received; I will send tracking tomorrow as I think I can ship then."
KEYWORD: THINK
This is NOT a promise so it even worsesns your case against him.
