Why would you >> want to return it and get a refund if it was damaged? I don't sell on ebay but I would question negative feed back if you refused a refund.

The seller apologized and said they thought the packing was sufficient and blamed UPS for being rough with the package. My problem now is feedback. Do I have to leave feedback on this transaction?

If it was UPS then file with them and complain before leaving feedback for the seller- We do not use UPS for the same reasons and we pack very well.
The seller does need feed back - choose your words with thought and be clear as to what you want to comunicate. If you are honest great- if your are to harsh potential seller will begin to see you as a risk and may deny your bid. do what you have to do with dignity

Reply with a kind heart, and everyone will see your intent.

I buy a lot on eBay and have only had a couple of problems. I say sellers should pack to survive an explosion. I once bought a Lenox snowflake that the seller mailed in a thin cardboard envelope. Of course it broke and I wanted my money back and he was very nasty. Things were a lot looser then on eBay and we had a couple of bad feedback on both sides.
I would say, always be nice and you can be vague about who's fault the damage belonged to.

Oh well, I will be more careful next time. I will end up trying to sell it on ebay myself.

I use older XP and Vista programs in my Windows 7 computer all the time. Are you sure it won't work at all? If not it just might be a copy or a defective disc. I'd make sure it was a good disc before I resold it on ebay so your feedback stats don't go down.
