I know this is a thread resurrection, and I am late,
but there is something to be said for honesty.

You did the right thing, and you will feel better for
it. Also, there is a truth to the idea called "karma".
What you give to the world, comes back to you. It is
the attitude that you share with society and rubs off
on the rest of the world and the way they treat you
and others.

Surround yourself with goodness and honesty, and it
will come back to you.

Great stuff!

You did the right thing. Proud of you man. Your honor is worth more than 25 dimes.

Doing the "right" thing doesn't guarantee right things will happen.

Doing the "wrong" thing usually (almost invariably) amounts to more wrongs.

I reckon,

"The truth hurts once, one way"
"Lies hurt over and over, many different ways."

The funny thing is what part of the deal you are on and if you are the one on the short end of the stick.

I have bought a few items and seen both sides. I have had people make mistakes on sending me items and when they go out of their way to make things right, I do not expect something and want to do something for them in return. What usually happens to me is the pay a ton for shipping and have a $.52 stamp thrown on and then wonder why it does not show up. The first time this happened the seller went out of his way to replace the item and did what he could to make me happy. He was put on the favorites list and I emailed him back and forth for quite awhile still thanking him for what he did.

Then a few weeks later the same situation happened and the seller wanted to put all the blame on me and not him. He went to every extreme to avoid me and did not care until I gave him a negative comment. When this happened he jumped on me and went off any way he could to try and get back at me. It just amazes me how some people step up and take responsability and others are quick to blame. It is people like you (and others on the board) that make ebay and similar places worth coming back to. And when someone goes out of their way just a little bit, it makes the day that much better and makes you feel better too.
