A Letter To SafeHarbor Explaining 40 Days

SafeHarbor's Letter

Hi there!

i have a problem with a seller and hope you can advise me!

The Problem:
i was the high bidder for auction 1225880457
the auction ended March 31, 2001
the seller failed to make any contact with me
i sent four e-mails over the course of two weeks and
they all came back as undeliverable
Delivery failed 144 attempts: shawp@dextershoe.com
i figure the account is no longer working
i purchase the game from another e-bay user
weeks later i post bad feedback, so that no one else
is 'left hanging'
40 days after the auction, [exactly], i get an e-mail from shawp@dextershoe.com
he's upset that he has bad feedback
My Concern:
i'd like to think that i'm an ok E-Bayer and pride myself
in thinking that i'm a person of good character. i have a Gold Star too!

(-brettt-) (16)

Please help me figure out what to do!

The End Result?

Some people get confused between 3 business days and 40 days....
