Seller should mark ad paid, which should give you a chance for feedback

If the seller marks the ad paid, Audiogon will attempt to get a commission from the seller.

The sale was made outside of Audiogon. The seller would have to cancel the listing to do that. Feedback can not be exchanged on an item that is not listed! Audiogon never received the selling fee.  They are not running a business for free!

Agree that only way to make this happen is for the seller to mark the item paid; if they did not do a pre-pay on the fees, they'll then be assessed. Otherwise there is no way to make this happen. Overall, the approach freddy50 has taken is very risky....for all intensive purposes the transaction does not exist. If something goes wrong, no protection.

for all intents and purposes
