What would you do?
A fellow head-fi member committed to purchase an item from me, via PM's, on Friday with a message that PayPal payment would be sent on Monday. Monday came and went with no word or payment. On Tuesday I sent a message to find out what was going on. A PM was replied to within minutes (Tuesday, the day after payment was suppose to be sent as agreed upon) apologizing and telling me that he would no longer be buying my amp since he just purchased a different amp that day. I appreciate the honesty and the fact that he PM'd me back, but I feel that it was a pretty rotten thing to do. At a minimum, I would have expected a message explaining the situation and checking if it was OK to brake our arrangement before committing to another purchase. While I would not have been thrilled about the situation, I would have said OK.
I have been involved in another past sale where this happened and the person explained the situation and asked if it was OK to back out. I agreed and moved on.
In the end, nobody was hurt but I feel people should also know that this person's word may not be as worthy/strong as another persons. Part of me thinks I should post feedback to his profile about this incident, but then I wonder if I am just being angry and petty.
If I do post feedback, do I post it as negative or neutral? I'm thinking it should probably just be listed as neutral feedback.
Would you "let it go" or would you "post feedback" to the person's profile?
