Herb:
I purchased an item recently and the item was not as advertised. The seller took it back and promptly refunded my money plus return shipping. Aside from the fact that it was not of the advertised size, I disagreed with his claim of "mint" condition. But seeing as there are no operational definitions of condition, one man's "mint" is another man's "fair-to-good", I put that in the realm of opinion. However, I scored the transaction 3-star to reflect my dissatisfaction with the error and condition discription.
The seller has readvertised the item and corrected the size error. It appears though that the original ad has disappeared along with my seller rating!! Does that mean that anyone who gets a less than perfect rating can simply withdraw the ad? if so, how meaningful are the ratings?
