EE Newbie rant

[DD977GM2]

No commitment to purchase. However an acknowledgement of your touching bases would have been nice. Still you did not commit to purchase so there is no basis for negative feed back.
IIRC. The EE rules does not have a "common Courtesy" clause

Then they need one damnit

It would have been a courtesy but that doesn't seem popular anymore

If there was no deal set in stone then I don't think negative feedback is deserved.

This.
IMHO without a given commitment such as "I will take it" then yes, the N feedback is not appropriate.

I will agree a touch of decency and courtesy would go a loooooong way and prevent many ills of the EE.

One thing I can't stand, when you see an item posted with no replys such as "ill take it" or similar and decide you will take it.
You send a PM and post you will take it only to find somebody snagged it 2 hours prior.
If you have an interest or are going to take it post as such in the original post.

Had a noob PM/Txt me asking if my item was still available. He said he was in Vail and could do a FtF if it was. I replied promptly that it was available via PM and Txt.

Not another peep from the guy.

Is that rude? Yeah, it is, in my opinion. But I don't think it deserves negative feedback.

You should probably look at your own PM box and i bet you find a commitment to purchase then an excuse to back out in there.
i hardly think a noobie not wanting to wait 2 weeks and not bothering to respond is worth negative feedback.

Sometimes its better to let it go.

When did it become the EE? We're not "those" "guys" on that other "site."
