It was just an example. Could have been $1000-950-900 whatever.

Guys that don't understand shipping discounts for multiple items. How do you not understand and factor in the cost of shipping if I buy two or three items at once as a way to reduce the price accordingly?

[niscur24]

Anyone who negotiates a price asks for PayPal then never pays.

 

Anyone who wants your item at a price someone else is/was selling at. GO BUY THE OTHER ONE THEN!

 

Anyone who pays more than a few minutes after getting PayPal information but is online all day. First to pay gets the gold...dont pay me 8 hours later then get pissed when someone else beat you to it. If you can be active all the way to asking for PayPal info spend 45 more seconds online and pay instead of sending a message telling me you'll pay later!

 

Anyone who asks for a trade when I clearly say NO trades.

 

Anyone who doesn't understand what OBO means. Just because you make an offer doesn't mean I have to accept it.

 

Anyone thinking they are personally entitled to a bro deal and and I am should do them a favor.

 

Anyone who wastes my time asking a million questions and never intended to buy anything.

 

Lowballers

Sorry but the worst are the dudes, and I had this happen twice in a row, who paypal with a credit card and charge me the fees....

That's business on the BST man 99.9% of the time... always figure PP fees (3%) in your final price. Buyers aren't going to gift you payment or pay your sellers fees. Part of the game.

[mac94]

"What's your best price?" Awful people.

 

I usually respond that the best price for me is $10 more than what is posted.

[mac94]

Huh? That is the way PayPal works.

no if you pay from your bank account there is no fee. and even so the buyer should assume the fee not me. If we agree to a 100 dollar price and I wind up with 97.46 cause I have to pay his fees - that's retarded. It should cost him 102.54 - i shouldnt lose money

Well you idiots might accept less than the agreed price but I don't. That's not too hard to understand. So I reject your fail.

The 3% is the fee for using goods and services option that adds protection to the transaction not because they use a credit card. You should list all your items with the 3% assumed.

[pholway]

So yeah - I read paypal's fee's again and I guess I have always just done friends and family payment when sending and receiving money so I guess I need to update my brain.

Aw man! I was getting my flamethrower out just waiting to get to the bottom of the page... and then you had to go and do this...

I really cannot stand members who think they know how the bst works, but really have no idea... But continue arguing none the less

[MadGolfer76]

The "will you take 60 dollars on that Blueboard pull..." guy who then bitches that I didn't get it to him fast enough.

Ads that state OBO, but don't really want to negotiate.

 

If you don't want to open negotiations, as OP is complaining about, don't state in your ad that you'll accept offers.

 

"What your best price" is a negotiation tactic to get you to state a price first. The buyer will then work off that.

 

If you don't like it OP, don't accept offers. Just state your firm price. Simple as that.

 

It's called Or Best Offer. What is the offer in "what's your best price"?

 

Yes. But if you're on the selling end of the transaction, and you have the OBO option, you should never ignore a "what's your best price" inquiry. If you have an item listed for $100, but would really take $80, then tell them your best price is $90.

 

What's the worst case scenario for that?

 

Negotiate against yourself? What does that even mean? Why would anyone classify folks making buying/price inquiries as "awful people"?

 

Why would I lower my price to $90 for no reason? Sounds completely idiotic to me.

 

Why would you have an OBO option?

I would accept a lower price than listed but won't bid against myself. How is this so hard to understand for some people?

[Hateto3Putt]

So you just don't want to be the first to state another (lower) price?

 

But you would accept a lower price than first shown in ad.

 

And by doing that you ignore any buyer who wants you to blink first.

 

Got it.

[Circaflex]

Those who start threads going after the seller or buyer, before getting in touch with the seller or buyer.

 

Those who ask if this putter is legit when its an OTR or something like that

 

Those who bash anyone with zero selling feedback, as if your opinion means nothing. This isnt the only market place on the internet. Even offering common sense best practices, but then being shot down because you have 0 feed back.

 

Those who post threads telling you to either avoid a seller or buyer, someone is selling something fake on ebay, etc but not disclosing the seller or buyer. How is that a heads up thread if you cant provide us who to stay away from?

 

The super entitled bunch.

This guy would also be one of them. You pay fees to use Paypal as a service. Either start including the fees in your listing, you want 100? Better list it at 103 so after fees you get your 100. This isnt hard to understand and if you accept my offer of 100, and I pay you through paypal, tough luck buddy. That is your fault for not understanding how paypal works.

[avgjoe]

"feeler sale"

[ode1]

Cant wait for the $102.54 bst ad:)

 

There was some azzhat in one of these types of threads suggesting buyers should have to pay for his gas money to get packages to the PO/shipper, his time, supplies, etc.....basically guys like this that should be compensated for simply being so great that they can't be inconveinced to do anything above and beyond unless they're getting paid.....kinda like saying the buyer should cover the pp fees!

 

Flippers

I already stated my price in the ad. Either the buyer buys it at that price or he makes me an offer. Why would I re-state a lower price for no reason?

[Fade to Black]

Them: I'll take it! Send me your PayPal.

Me: <sends PayPal info>

Them: silence.

[bran]

Someone agrees to buy something only to later say they asked their wife's permission and were denied so they have to back out. Make sure you ask her to go to the bathroom when you feel the urge too.

[Guia]

The guy who says "I would buy but just bought X yesterday", or "if that was just a Driver that was 9.5 instead of 10.5". You know these guys don't have the money and just talking.

 

Like another poster said "feeler sale". I still don't know what the he** that means?

[bb123]

Anyone that uses "minty fresh"

[Ironhorse723]

When my ad says shipping to CONUS and I get a "will you ship to Canada" inquiry lol.

[Augster]

This is really some good reading here. Thanks for the laughs!

 

Buyer agrees to a $100 shipped BO.

 

Seller, "Okay it's $100 plus $3 for PayPal, plus $15 shipping plus $8.75 for my gas, materials, and time to package and drive to and from USPS. Gift me the PayPal for $126.75. Thanks."

 

Buyer, "Um, that's not how this works. Moron."
