buyers and messages

2 cases, 1 buyer? says my price too high but if a agree to a lower price (his price) he will buy 'straight away'

so as his price was lower than i really wanted i decided i'd accept, messaged him that it was ok and i would change the listing right away which i did.

havent heard back from him, this was yesterday.

today, i get a message from another buyer? asking the condition of the box? i reply its perfect.

again, no reply, no sale. that was earlier today.

a sales not a sale until the cash is in the till LOL

Yes, it depends on how they ask. You can weed out quite a lot of them by just the way they ask the question. All the one-liners are almost always pointless (but not completely). Also, all the ones asking "Do you send to <insert fraudulent country>?", no point in answering those. And all the ones who are already sounding very picky in their questions are walking on blocked buyers list tightrope.

ok, i messaged the first guy asking what happened with the 'i'll buy it right away.

so far no reply. that was yesterdat afternoon.

ive returned the price to the original price.

maybe hes gone away for the weekend, who knows.

the other guy about box condition, just a tire kicker is my guess.

will wait until next week, if no contact by buyer 1 he'll be on the bbl.

He'll come back the day after you block him and ask you why he can't buy. 🙂

I had someone wanted a specific item that had ended so I relisted it. They didn't buy but waited until after it had ended again. They asked me again so I relisted. They still didn't buy but again they asked when it was back in unsold again. I ignored them that time and didn't relist it because I'd been thinking about keeping it and had only relisted it the previous time because they'd asked.

That was a long time ago now and I can't remember whether I blocked her or not, but if it happened now I wouldn't be able to block her fast enough! What got me was the attitude that I was at fault!

usually i dont mess about, any signs of mucking about and its sin bin for a buyer but as his last message was late thursday and it being a long weekend i'll give a bit of leeway.

not everyone uses smart phones (i dont) so its possible hes gone away for the weekend and isnt internet connected.

but if i dont hear from him tuesday it'll not be a good thing.
