A somewhat belated postscript to this sad episode. The chap who is the subject of this thread.... has just now discovered that he has received bad buyer feedback and is in a bit of a strop about it.
He has sent me this - "hi, i see you destroy my name thank you! i report amazon about this, that you treat me like s**t is onacceptable! so mark your words!"
(I have asterisked out the offence).

Sounds a little threatening to me... so I will report it to Amazon on Monday. He has sent it via Amazon so they will have a copy of it.

My feedback was actually quite mild (if a bit sarcastic)
"1 out of 5: "Sorry this brand new and expensive cd reached you in poor condition and even sorrier that it appeared to get lost in the post on its return journey back to me."
Date: 7 August 2009 Rated by Seller:"

What's the worst he can do? Try buying another cd off me and negging me back I suppose (he can't neg me for this episode as it was back in May).
