[ToRN]

personally, if I get the item, and there is communication between me and the seller, I will leave a + rating.

I have not yet had reason to leave a negative, but I am a fairly agreeable person, I don't mind waiting.

there was one occasion when I bought a bunch of stuff, and an electronic device (NAR) was non-working. I contacted the seller, to inform him of this, and he offered to refund it. Being the agreeable person I am (and a bit of a technophile) I told him not to bother, as it only cost me $20, and I would try to figure out the problem myself. That Seller got a +.

But if something were to go horribly wrong in the transaction, or there is longer than usual wait time with no communication, or stalling, I would consider leaving a ~ or - rating.
