Even if they do all this I would still leave them a positive feedback.
But when they misrepresent the item they're selling (e.g. this one time I purchased a Transformer Movie Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz, it took three weeks to be delivered, I paid for express postage btw, when it finally arrived I found a Fast-Action Battler Aubot Jazz). Let me clarify, the item was called "Transformers Movie Deluxe Class Action Autobot Jazz", the description repeated used the words "deluxe class", the words "fast-action battler" was not used once, and the pictures where of the Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz. When I talked with the seller, he said that the word "action" was used in the title, and I was in complete disbelief. Despite branding the words "deluxe class" throughout the item's description and depicting images of the Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz, he justified himself by saying that he used the word "action" once in the title. I was forced to give him a positive feedback despite all this in fear of getting a negative feedback from him.
