Re low compliance :)

It was actually very funny in the end - eBay was dealing with me and the seller. Whomever I spoke with totally agreed with me and I would guess that whomever he/she spoke to agreed with him! It was really going back and forth - changing my compliance level, removing my feedback, putting the feedback back. I believe that in the end they must have had a little meeting and decided to satisfy us both.
They told me they were putting the feedback back and raising my compliance level back to HIGH. They must have told him that they were taking the feedback off!
As far as I can see, they removed the feedback and that made him happy and at my end they raised my compliance level back to HIGH and made me happy.
They did tell me that they were putting the feedback back in place so I could have followed up, but luckily I cooled it, backed off and sat back happy with eBay's solution.

Keep both sellers as happy as possible.
