Intimidation to motivate seller SNAD behavior

Sometimes an experience is just strikingly new, even when you're far from new to the planet and Ebay.

Buyer reported an issue with used stuff. I prepared the reply, offering to make things right.

What I didn't realize for a bit is that buyer had already left perfect feedback for that transaction, before he ever saw how I was going to handle things.  I was just floored.  All intimidating factors had been removed.   Just two people working it out.

I resolved to make extra sure this buyer gets a full resolution.


Then I admired buyer's courage, and recalled with some reflection those times when I have reported SNADs to my sellers. I'll do better next time.
