    <description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/52545"&gt;@furnhouse1&lt;/a&gt;wrote:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello Mate,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Inviting you to suggest&amp;nbsp; any better way for&amp;nbsp; increasing&amp;nbsp; our eBay store sale&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;In Australian culture, addressing strangers on a forum as "mate" is regarded as assumptive and over-familiar. This can be&amp;nbsp; confusing for visitors or immigrants of primarily Asian background; I think their confusion lies in the fact that they may be familiar with hierarchical societies where extreme respect is a part of the culture, and where there are levels of respect that are essential in the vocabulary chosen for a particular communication.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;"Mate" as a way of addressing a person is more frequently used by males than by females; it is more frequently directed to males than to females; it may be used in casual situations rather than in formal situations; quite a few Australians do not say "G'day mate" at all.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You may find a better approach is to begin with "Hello, all" or "Hello, everyone". If addressing one person rather than many, a simple "Hello" may be all that's needed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Re your sales, I note that you sell brands that may not be well-known or respected. For instance, Mondeo - I don't know that brand and I'm not too keen on the style or the workmanship from what I can see. Like others who have posted on this thread, I wouldn't buy a mattress without trying it out beforehand. I also don't consider a 1-year warranty to be anywhere near sufficient for a bed. I'd rather pay more for a really good mattress with a 10-year warranty and a "60 night happiness guarantee" (which refers to the mattrress giving a good and properly supported night's sleep rather than any other bed activities) than a mattress/bed which I've not tested personally, in a brand I don't know, with a 1-year warranty.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In my view, you may be able to increase your sales with a better warranty; that is going to mean dealing with manufacturers who offer a better warranty, of course.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, as has already been mentioned by &lt;SPAN class="UserName lia-user-name lia-user-rank-Community-Member lia-component-common-widget-user-name"&gt;&lt;A href="https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/967132" target="_self"&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;imastawka&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;, you need to avoid posting in a way that suggests that you're using the Community Discussion Boards as advertising. (That - plus posting the same thing several times - is what's known as spamming the boards.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I agree with what's been said about the difficulty of selling furniture. I imagine it's one of the harder categlories in which to sell on eBay. There are so many furniture stores throughout Melbourne! I do wish you good luck with it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sorry to say, but when I buy a bed or new mattress, I want to lay on it and feel it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I, and I suspect many others would never consider buying a bed/mattress online.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Same goes for recliners or couches.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Some of your feedback mentions problems with delivery, what couriers are you using?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Like Kopes I would really want to try out beds before buying, to check the quality and comfort.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Like others here I would have thought selling beds online was one of the more difficult categories, but your sales reflect something quite different. Good luck to you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As for the best way to increase sales, I'm not sure. A lot of people have good success with blogs, and social type media like Pinterest, Instagram, farcebook, and others. But, we haven't tried those waters yet, so can't speak from personal experience. Perhaps worth a try.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thats my best. I wish you well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Melina.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Stop spamming the Community Spirit board with ads for your store, for a start.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You've alienated a lot of people.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You have a B &amp;amp; M store near me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wouldn't buy from you in a pink fit.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And no-one here is your 'mate'&lt;/P&gt;</description>
