I cant get responses to genuine questions!

I have been looking at buying certain models of Fender Stratocaster guitars and after being messed around trying to buy elsewhere I decided to try Ebay. I have had my account for years but got put off when I tried to buy an item but because my account was new it would not let me and I ended up just going to Amazon. 

 

The problem I have is that people simply ignore me because I have no purchases. I even asked someone to give me any response of any kind just so I know someone is at the other end (ad has not been updated for months) but I just get ignored. 

 

How do I purchase anything if sellers completely ignore me no matter what I do? Incredibly frustrating!

I really don't know what to do here as I created the account via my Google login, hence the very generic account name. My address etc is in my account and I just checked my details and there is nothing more I can add.

I updated my name so it at least looks less generic like a mass generated bot... I have updated all the details I possibly can so I don't know what else to do at this point

I have one item listed, ask me a question through the listing and I’ll reply if it comes through.  Make it a generic message like “have you ever been to Sydney?”

Re: I cant get responses to genuine questions!

nothing has come through yet.

 

(I have asked myself a question from one of my other accounts.  Nothing showing from that either)

Hmm weird, I don't know what is going on then and I would hit buy now on the item I want but they have not specified shipping charges so I cant do anything. Infuriating!

try this:

make an offer on my listing.  I will counteroffer $1 less than the current Buy-It-Now price, which you can then reject.  I promise to not accept your offer (that would cost me money)

Hi  slr,   love the 100 trillion.  Bought some, more as a gimmick, when they were actually in circulation.  Mint condition in protective sleeves.  From  memory paid less than $5 each including international post.  After all in Zimbabwe at the time, you were flat out buying a loaf of bread with one.

There still tucked away in a safe, checked a few years back and they were selling for about $45, and I thought that was a pretty good return, but as said I bought them as a gimmick.

mine won't sell at asking price.  Have just parked the listing on the off chance someone does buy.

 

These are the last of a batch of 75 that I bought many years ago.  Have more than recovered what I paid for them.

more messages from seller:

 

I’ve replied to all messages I’ve received for review so there must be something at their end.

 

And to find out postage the potential buyer has to put their postcode in and it should give them the amount.
