My latest headache is with buyers who canāt be bothered to check their own tracking info. I had at least 4 buyers message me last week asking why they hadnāt gotten their books and not one of them had checked tracking.
I had to screenshot it and send it back to them to show where I shipped it on time and had no idea why the post office was so delayed right now.
If someone sends you an offer on eBay either accept or decline it. Donāt let it sit there for 2 full days. I hate that ebay wonāt let you make changes or send any other offers if an item your selling has a pending offer. At least allow the seller to shorten the offer window.
Yeaaa⦠Iām with you. Accept or Decline.
I will, willingly admit though, there have been times an offer is so outrageous that I get annoyed and donāt bother responding. In hindsight, I know I should be declining, but hey⦠Iām human
I say accept or counter offer. If youāre just going to decline, why are you accepting offer solicitations to begin with? You want me to keep playing the guessing game? Dumb.
Sometimes I like to wait on an offer cause sometimes, and sometimes more often than usual, someone swoops in and buys it at my BIN price⦠but I like to keep that offer on hold if itās a book Iād rather make the sale on than let it sit for too longā¦
I love when it happens. Makes me kind of snicker at the person making the offer⦠āshould have just bought itā cause normally, Iāve already undercutted everyone else anyways.
Yeah, my favorite one was yesterday with a Batman Fortnite #1. Person offered 75% of asking price with a note that they just wanted the code and not the comic. (1) Iām not selling you the code alone, (2) thisāll sell at asking price anyway, soā¦
I might sound like a dick saying this but when you make an offer for something and itās a low ball offer but you throw in a sad sob story (whether itās a disability, youāre on limited income, etc)⦠just donāt alright. First of all, I donāt know you and as your story might be true (which Iām sorry if it is), for every true sad sob story out there when buying things at lowball offers, thereās probably 100 stories that are just complete bullshit and made up to try and make others feel guilty.
So make your offer and leave the sad stories in your head as Iām immune to them⦠Iām gonna base my decision based on my own criteria.
I actually got one the other day. They literally offered $50 because they said they got $50 in credit. Umm⦠thaāts nice, Iām not selling my item for $50 just because you got $50 in credit. You gonna have to pay for shipping as wellā¦
Current situation with hotshot comics - asked about a book I ordered in November - sent a message on eBay a couple weeks ago - no response. Never sent a follow up - I sent just one message.
Commented on their IG asking for an update - got blocked.
So, Iāve tried to keep my cool this time and just sent them these messages on IG using another account. Iām just over it. Will keep you guys posted.
Hey eBay pros⦠could the recent switch from Paypal have anything to do with why Iām unable to find a couple of eBay purchases from late 2020 in my Paypal transaction history?
I decline someone on eBay if after I check their feedback left for others I am sure I donāt want to sell to them. I quickly block and decline. It has saved me some buyers who would have been big trouble.
