Both Pory and blanco are entirely correct. You guys are great and I appreciate you!
If you had responded "i'd do 40 if that's cool, would you be comfortable going first?" then this would have played out differently.
This wasn't a blood oath and the terms of the deal changed, and one party was not okay with the new terms. He didn't mislead you.
This may have been a decent case for neutral feedback, at best. We've still never figured out how to use those appropriately. Voted to remove.
ECTunnel has its own set of norms and customs. One of them is that the higher feedback member usually goes second but that gets muddy when you've currently active and sitting above 200.
Anybody that has sold me Krono can tell you that my expectations are set clearly and pretty early on; regardless of who messages first.
But they can also vouch for how fast they receive payment after I have Krono in hand. There is no loan, no escrow, no waiting period, no IOU, no shenanigans.
I don't hold anybody to anything and hold no ill will towards when somebody backs out. Nobody is forced to accept my whims or meet my expectations.
This stopped me from getting scammed by other users (JuicyKR) and, sadly, other users on this site
do be scammin'.
