Whats with FLAKEY buyers?

    What is the deal with people that ask you for endless amounts of information with respect to what you are selling and then just signing without a word? Would a simple 'Sorry, not interested" be so f-ing hard. I am frustrated.

    Just wanting to get a rise out of the seller.
    Most do want addiitional information prior to bidding or buying.
    Which is very understandable.

    I can understannd wanting all the info and doing due dilligence, but its so damn rude to be talking to someone for half an hour then they are gone. I feel had, like I just gave some one the reciepe for my success.

    After spending time, and they just go away, you learned a lesson.
    So next time they ask a question, or pm you, just auto delete the pm or ignore the question.

    But yes, it is annoying to have someone ask questions about a product, waste the seller's time, just to never purchase.

    Maybe they are just trying to chat you up thinking you look hot in a bikini?

    Learn to better manage your time. There's a difference in the way you should respond to $50 transactions as opposed to $500 purchases. Don't get me wrong, be professional and transparent and everything with any transaction, just dont be placing your business plan for success on the table, if your not getting much out of it.

    "There's a difference in the way you should respond to $50 transactions as opposed to $500 purchases."

    I agree about putting your whole business plan out there but I am not sure I agree with the above quote. Many $500 sales start with one $10-$20 transaction.

    Sorry I should rephrase that. I didnt meant the way you respond, but the amount of time you dedicate to responding to both potential clients.
