Ebay email rules...
Permalink Closed

Can you get in trouble for griping someone out via email if no transaction has occurred between me and the other user?


My rant:


I have a bag for sale of ebay.  It is a fixed price or best offer listing.  The bag is new with tags and retailed for $348.  I have had the following offers...$9, $90, $10.


ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!  With the $9 offer, I declined it with a message asking if perhaps they mistyped their offer.  I want to email the $10 offeror and just let them have it...but perhaps I should restrain myself.


I just needed to vent a little on here before I ended up saying something via email that might be inappropriate.

I would just decline the offers and say nothing.


everybody's out to get a deal on ebay and there's people out there that sell antique half carat diamond rings for $25, and $5,000 diamond earrings for $200 (speaking from experience.)  they have nothing to lose by offering you a low price, so why not? just decline it and don't acknowledge...

I wouldn't think too hard about it. They might be stupid if your fixed price was something like $300 and they offered you $9, but I don't think they were being rude... Ebay is about deals. I've offered some pretty ridiculously low prices, and most of the time they're not taken but every once in a while they are, because I guess people are just desperate to get rid of their junk. So I usually offer low prices, just in case. If they dont' know the original price of the bag, they might not understand that their offer is silly.

I knew you would see it my way, Jahni!!!  I think your new found condition is making you "little old lady" grouchy!!!


I am totally over it now...I just declined it.  But, if another comes along...I don't know if i can hold back.
