"I honestly forgot about the other guy and the deal we made"
Based upon your own words, don't YOU feel that you deserve some negative feedback?
You wasted the guy's time and now you're mad that he left you negative feedback?
The effort to make it right appears to have happened AFTER the feedback was givenI think both of you did wrong. He shouldn't have posted a sell while not being able to follow through with it. Everyone draws a blank but even then its still bad that you didn't keep him in the loop. You did try to make the situation right though. So if a person posts something for sale are they to cancel all previous plans and stay at home on the computer waiting for a pm...
With that being said I don't think anyone should have been left negative feedback. People need to learn to talk things out. Especially if you tried to make the situation right and he ignored you. You were going to complete the sale.... That right there at the very least should have resolved the issue.
Seems to me the seller may be partially liable to. Afterall, it was his schedule that caused the delay. As I understand the OP, the seller had it posted, but wasn't able to follow though in a reasonable time. The OP moved on.
Was the seller harmed by the OP? Not clear to me either way.
And the OP seems to have tried to make it right so maybe now eh deserves soem positive feedback from the seller?

I agreed to buy the product anyway! He left the feedback before I had the chance to reconcile and make other arrangements. I happen to be busy at the time he wanted to deal, but I wouldn't post something for sale knowing I'm not going to be around to sell it!
