sweet, 

trying to work out PM's now. 

I think lots of buyers don't understand/ care about leaving neg's. They do love looking at the pics and not reading though. i do think that the sellers that are also buyers are less judgemental when things go wrong. and if a seller bought something and didn't read the description there's no way that they'd leave a neg. 

As you said, you learnt! 

I 've seen a few sellers take pics of things that are small and put coins next to them to show sizes. I think that's a good idea... 

The problem is that even if sellers wrote "this photo was taken on macro", the buyer who doesn't read the description won't see it anyway, so its nearly pointless....
