It sure is good that Master Henley sent this to the whole list.

It is best to keep on top of these sellers and not let too much time  
go by.  Especially if the 30 days is approaching.
You cannot retract negative feedback, but you can append to the  
feedback as a reply.

eBay does have a procedure for canceling feedback if both parties are  
in complete agreement.

In this case it would seem that even if it works out, other eBay  
bidders need to know of the misrepresented items.

Best,
Don

P.S.
Back when I was in California from 1996 to 2002 I was able to purchase  
test equipment on eBay for our startup company for about 10 cents on  
the dollar.
The company made out with a total savings of over $70,000.  HOWEVER,   
in the process I was taken in by a couple of sellers who were  
completely fraudulent.
The one seller made off with a company check for $3,000. His entire  
company was a fake.  Even down to a complete website with all kinds of
departments, officers and employees. All 100 percent fake.  I do not  
know how many people he robbed but the authorities in California lost  
track
of him.  He moved to Canada and operated there for some time.  I sure  
hope the RCMP put him in irons for a long time.  Since that happened  
in 1999 eBay
and PayPal have changed and improved. One of my coworkers bought a  
"IBM Laptop" from this man in Canada for $2,000.  He received  
nothing.  Back then
PayPal was separate from eBay and all he got back was $175.  Thank  
goodness things are better today.  Still you cannot be too careful  
dealing with people
on-line.
