Everyone wants instant gratification , they want to pay nothing , and have it within the hour, buyers are begging practically for the market to be full of cheap replicated garbage where they can charge nothing and free fast shipping because no one cares about quality

It gets so annoying. This is why I block any buyer who tries to low ball me on a BIN I have even had people try to ask me to end Auctions a day into a 7 day listing saying they are the highest bidder nobody else has bid on it. Even though I have 10 people watching it and anyone with a brain knows all the bidding happens in the last day and more or less the last few hours. I always cancel their bids and block them from dealing with me. These people in my near 10 years experience always pay the least yet complain the most. As far as I am concerned go be somebody else problem.
For me I am kinda old school good old boy America 1980's the way I was brought up. My price is my price especially on something that does not have a best offer. Unless you are trying to bundle or something like that. Do like a significant bulk order or something like that. Get the heck out outta here. And if I commit to an auction or something like that I don't care if you offer me a crazy offer. I have a responsibility to myself and my customers to see it through.
All my items I don't try to oversell them at all. I take lots of pics. Describe them exactly as I see them and go from there. In business I have one motto. Under promise and over deliver. So I get pissed when I do the right thing and discount an item or whatever. Sell it at a price that I think is fair even when I could probably get more but want the customer to be more than happy. I still get the jerks trying to play games. That is what pisses me off the most.
I hate to when people message me about this other seller offers free shipping. Then go buy from them!!! Or Marshall's or some other outlet or discount retailer or online retailer whatever the heck it has this for this price. Well then go by from them as far as I am concerned!!! I don't care and go be there problem!!!
The worst is when someone asks you a question about something you have clearly said in your description. I don't know about everyone else but I try to keep mine short, sweet, accurate and to the point. I get idiots asking me questions about things that I have clearly said in my 5-10 line one paragraph description. Usually putting the important points in bold or in a bright color, etc. Unreal.
I get so annoyed. I do my best to be a gentlemen and hardly even respond to buyers like this. I normally just thank that they actually outed themselves and sent a message so I can block them. I guess it is pretty much par with most America, everyone is out to screw everyone else over. No conscience or morals at all. And nobody has the attention span to read a paragraph. |
