Are you overrefined? Excessively delicate?

The transcript of a recent email exchange between myself and someone selling a LP on eBay:

.....THAT GUY NEVER EVEN E-MAILED OR ANYTHING.......SO HE COULDN'T BE BUT SO UPSET, HE KEPT THE RECORD......

Hello. I am quite interested in this LP, but I noticed in your feedback one negative comment which suggested you were packaging the LPs in a way that left them open to damage. If I bid on this, will you promise a refund should the item be damaged in shipping?

highly suspect.

When I first read this I thought, oh, that's nice how affectionate Amst. is in his real life, with those little "x"es by his signature.

To answer the question, no.

I am excessively heavy handed. I am the anti-finesse.

I'm pretty refined, but not overly so - I have never shipped damaged merchandise to anyone.
