eBay
Adam- No, we aren't "both right". The original post topic was someone
seeking information about what annoys buyers/customers most, NOT
sellers. You just turned in two rants about what you dislike as a seller, you
went far afield...
I used the phrase "the customer is always right" not as a personal
manifesto, but instead to emphasize that too many sellers have abandoned
basic notions of buyer/ seller dynamics in commerce. Just imagine a
scenario in which you were the customer- at a restaurant, buying a new
lawnmower, looking for a pet. Answer honestly (to yourself, not to me- I
don't care) how you'd react if the seller vomited forth a laundry list of what
they wouldn't do to make the sale. This is precisely what you have done.
Lots of commenters are making reference to ebay in this thread, and rightly
so. It's common knowledge that ebay is closer to being an outhouse than a
penthouse for card folks. If it twerks you off that someone may actually
"bother" you with a question before they buy something from a stranger
who lives 1500 miles away, maybe you are in the wrong place. In any
case, on this venue perhaps you can start a "customer hatred" thread and
bash the lifeblood of your card enterprise. Sounds about as much fun as
waiting at the DMV, but have at it. Geesh...
