How would you handle....
I bid on and won a revolver. What I thought was a used .357. Turns out it's was a large frame 38 special, so it LOOKED like a 357 and was advertised as such. The dealer emailed me, after the gun shipped, to tell me they had a discrepancy and that it had been logged in as a 38special.
I notified my ffl, who's policy is to let buyers open their own shipments, so I had to make the 40mile round trip, in person.
The gun is a .38 special and I have returned it and they promised full refund, so all I'm out is the time to visit my ffl and the fact that I missed out on another gun that I didn't bid on, thinking this one was what I wanted.
How would you rate this non-transaction, in the feedback, or would you bother at all? Dealer has generally good feedback.

Just let it go and be glad you got your money back. Accidents happen. He was a stand up guy for telling you the truth and offering you your money back. 0 -
I would still give him a positive feedback. Just explain the situation in the feedback (GB gives you a bit of room), so it shows that the dealer is a stand-up guy. Plus, you will get another positive to your name too.
If you go negative or neutral, you can expect the same in return.0 -

However you shouldn't as long as you paid and got them the FFL in a timely manner. Alot of sellers on gunbroker are some childish asses I've noticed.0 -
Sounds like an honest mistake and the seller is trying to do what he can to make it right. I wouldn't ding him on feedback. If you don't want to leave a positive feedback, just don't leave any at all since it's a canceled transaction anyway. 0 -
Thanks. That was my belief, too, but I try not to 'rubber stamp' anything. 0
