Three Words: "Leave Appropriate Feedback" Most laser sellers on ebay are good, but nasty feedback helps throw out the bad apples. With China you have to watch it though, HK sellers are great, but mainland China sucks, they close after bad feeedback, and then re-open under a new name.

Here’s the thing about leaving this seller negative feedback: he refunded me, and didn’t even require me to return it the item. He was never rude and offered a full refund upon first asking if it was indeed the advertised output value. He did profess the stated output to be accurate, and that they test the laser's output with a meter prior to shipping, so that was a rather nasty lie.
Believe me I do wish to leave the appropriate feedback so that others don’t get caught in this fraud. In my case the seller made good, in every way within his power, on my purchase, therefore I don‘t feel a negative feedback would be justified.

Long ago before ultrasound scans and such there was a doctor who ripped people off. He offered a service to pregnant women where he would predict the sex of the child. He asked for a urine sample then went to his "lab" to do the "test". In fact, once out of sight he just tossed a coin. Heads for a boy tails for a girl. He charged a small fee for this service and, being fair minded, he gave back the money if he got the answer wrong.
Half the time he made a profit (by luck) half the time he didn't- but he made no loss.
Was his behaviour acceptable? If you found out about him would you have reported him?
Is it acceptable to provide a duff service and only pay back the money to the ones who complain?
I understand that it feels "wrong" to leave negative feedback in this case but how else do you stop the seller committing fraud?
