Steve, you misunderstand if you think that I was seeking anyone's advice after I had posted the negative feedback. I had posted my original posting about 24 hours before the feedback was left. (I said, "about" -- maybe more, maybe less - I don't recall, exactly.) I left the feedback when I did because I had given the seller a specific deadline (48 hours) that that was going to be my action if I didn't get a satisfactory response from her by then. She didn't, so I did; true to my word.
Granted, people didn't have a whole lot of time to respond to me, but that couldn't be helped as I had forgotten about this forum and didn't think about posting this issue until I did -- late as it was. However, that certainly hasn't stopped discussion of the issue, by any means.
