This is just a quick page about me so that anyone who plans on doing business with me can get a glimpse into who I am beforehand and hopefully see that I am in fact a trust worthy individual...  My feelings on the truth are this: I believe a person's word is all they are...  When you break a promise or mislead from a truth, especially when knowing the truth will never be known, you are only lying to yourself- and in turn the lie (be it a half-truth or not) will only hurt you...  I say this now with an ambition fed by a few negative feedbacks I've recently read on other Ebay member's sites...  Mostly from sellers who have had the nerve to leave negative feedback on their customer's pages after ripping them off, just to get them back for leaving VALID negative feedback on their pages!  This is a terrible pattern that continues to plague Ebay, and I wish Ebay would step up and make a revision to the feedback process... What needs to be done is this: Require that the sellers fill out their feedback to the consumer directly after the consumer pays the seller...  This makes the most sense since the consumer is reviewing the product received, and most likely the quality of the description, while the seller is simply reviewing whether or not a consumer has paid and how quick...The now common injustice of seller's leaving negative feedback simply because they received it could be avoided entirely if more people would just be honest with others they come into contact with- and in turn they will find they will have more respect for themselves...  Needless to say, I can promise that if I ever receive a negative feedback from someone that is valid, I will accept the consequences that I have earned and I will leave a positive feedback regardless of whether or not I wanted to- because it's the right thing to do... Even though I know I could get away with vengefully screwing the person that I dealt with and no one would ever know the difference, I won't do it because I will know.  This is how I live, and I live happily knowing that today I maintained my standard...  That feeling alone is better than the best.
